The advantage to using it is that you can pay for the shipping directly out of PayPal. Then, all you have to do is drop off your package at the post office - no standing in lines! Love it!

If you use the PayPal ship feature, you can print the postage, affix it to you package and receive free delivery confirmation for Priority packages, reduced DC for other shipping methods. You can even send (some) international packages and print the postage right from your computer. I love it!

AND, you can also schedule a pick-up of Priority Mail packages so you don't have to leave home. My carrier will take anything (Priority, media, parcel) I put out there for him, don't think they all will but you could always ask.

It is a great feature! I love that using the paypal you instantly pay for the postage and print it out from the comfort of your own home. Plus no more typing the names and addresses into the shipping assistant. It goes so much quicker!!!

The only requirement ot schedule a pick-up is that there must be at least one priority package in your bunch!!! They can't refuse to take other pieces if you have at least one!!! I just had my carrier pick up 18 packages yesterday!!! (15 of them were priority though!) There is the option after you printout your label successfull to schedule a pick-up. You will have to identify how many packages will be picked up. They ask for how many by type so I usually wait to the last package to do the scheduling. The will also ask for total weight. You can not schedule a pickup for any package over 70 lbs but the total wieght of all the packages can certianly be over 70 lbs.

I always used that option. I also use DC with everything i send.
The DC cost by printing online is $0.13 instead of the $0.55 at the P.O.
Also you can automatically email your buyer the DC # so they can check it themselves.

I ship from my Paypal pages, not from eBay (just haven't tried it that way yet) but in your PayPal Account page it should show the payment and a little button next to it that says "ship", it will take you to a page where you enter the package info (you do have to put in the exact weight so you may want to quickly re-weigh your item if you did calculated shipping) and then it goes from there. You pay .13 for DC if it is non-Priority Mail, DC is free with PM.

HTH!

The ebay page will take you to Paypal, so you can use either one. If a buyer pays you by money order, you can still use Paypal but for that one you have to go through MY Ebay since the payment is not listed on PayPal.

I haven't used the USPS site in a while cause with Paypal, the address is automatically in place. On the USPS site, I had to type it in line by line. Too time consuming.
