Ebay postage verses local post office

[booksbasically]

I'm not really new, but it's been some years and it's almost a whole new world now.

I used to print postage labels from the USPS site.  It had a tracking barcode, but I did not pay for the postage - I paid that at the PO.

I cannot seem to find that options on the USPS site anymore.

In trying to find it, they asked that I 'join', giving information including my phone number.  I'm reluctant to do that.

Is it still available can someone help me find it.

Thanks,

I find the USPS website very difficult to navigate.  The simplist route seems to me is to tie in with PayPal & EBay and print labels using the EBay sold (print postage) option.  Just pay from your PayPal account and a couple of clicks gets the job done.  I use plain paper and affix securely with tape, not covering up the bar code used for tracking.  When you take to the post office, your packages are ready to go.  An inexpensive postage scale is needed to verify the weight.
