Contemplating purchasing my labels on Pirate Ship. Are they overall better than Ebay's prices? I tend to purchase either USPS or UPS labels based on price on Ebay. Typically ship items anywhere from 10oz to 6 pounds, some cubic sized boxes.

I've used Pirateship many times over the years and never once had any issues. I believe their pricing is the same as on eBay, or at least I have always paid the same price. The only 'downside' to me is that I have to go back on eBay to post the tracking number, but that is two minutes tops. If you haven't tried them yet, please do so. Best of luck to you....

I have been using them exclusively for many years. Some (but not all) of their prices are about the same as eBay.
BUT PS offers cubic pricing which eBay does not. On physically small items you will save substantially. That is true whether they are heavy or light.
Additionally, for international 4 pounds or less they have Simple Export rates which are significantly less than eBay. (But you have to ask for it - but only once).
And outside of the pricing there are numerous other advantages they make them my exclusive Go To.
They will automatically download all your eBay sales, then when you print the label they will automatically upload the tracking numbers. There is no need to go back and do it manually.

something must be wrong with your account, pirate uploads tracking nos automatically and I have not had a single problem with that. Check with their support what's going on.

As mentioned before, their rates for packages up to 4 lbs are at least 20+% lower than elsewhere. E.g. last time I checked, 4 lbs to Canada, pirate (rounded) $19, ebay $28.50. Their CS is also unbeatable. Respond to emails within 24 hours, often faster, you can connect with chat. When you ask something, you get real answers, not boilerplate meaningless templates.
