Shipping Service

Which is better for service? (Fedex or USPS)

That seems to vary as the crow flies.

It depends where you buy the label and what is the weight of the item shipped.

Shipping is complex and since it is the highest cost for sellers, it makes sense to drill down to the PhD level and understand all of the options and problems with each.

Caution when proposing to buy FedEx labels on eBay - just search FedEx on this board as there is a complaint at least 3 times a week.

There are other services that sell labels so one doesn't have to buy labels from one place.  In fact often there are glitches with eBay labels and sellers who don't have a Plan B Shipping vendor go into a panic when their sole source is **bleep** off.

How do you plan on using USPS from Sri Lanka?

If you are asking as a seller USPS isn't available to sellers in  Sri Lanka.  USPS is only available as a shipping option for sellers in the US.  Fedex on the other hand has services in many countries.  If you are a seller just remember that you cannot sell and receive payment from buyers using PayPal.
