A lot of people have told me about pirateship.
What are the pros/cons of pirateship vs. ebay shipping labels?
I use Pirate Ship for a lot of items. The discounted rates for USPS are about the same as those eBay offers but Pirate Ship also has Priority Mail Cubic which can be cheaper than regular priority mail. I pay for the Pirate Ship labels with my CC which has cash back on every purchase, something you sure don't get with eBay.
When it comes to UPS, which I seldom use, Pirate Ship protects shippers from any surcharges UPS as long as the dim's and weight were correct when you purchased the label. EBay is just an estimate and several sellers have posted about getting hit with unilateral surcharges once the package is delivered.
Of course using Pirate Ship requires you to log onto their site to create the label and then you have to get that information over into the order on eBay which is simply a matter of copy and paste and marking the item as shipped. Takes a bit more time but after you use it for awhile you get pretty proficient at it. When you go to do your taxes of course you have to log onto the Pirate Ship site to pull your shipping costs for the year and separate out the business and personal shipping costs or create two separate Pirate Ship accounts.
