Stamps.com verses eBay Labels or something else?

[kajomom]

I have been using Stamps.com for the last year or so. Very easy to use. 

I am now seeing, some of their shipping is more expensive than using eBay labels, for the same areas/packages. 

What does everyone use to print their labels?

The new USPS rates that went into effect on Sunday have identical prices for  Priority Mail in the tables for Commercial Base and Commercial Plus pricing. Last year, Commercial Plus cost about 3% less. So sites where you have been paying less for Commercial Plus might now cost the same as Commercial Base (i.e., the default online price).

However, eBay has followed through on their promise to maintain the TRS discount.  TRS who print their Priority Mail postage through eBay will find that they are charged about 3% less than the new Commercial rates for Priority Mail.  

So if stamps.com et al. are charging the new Commercial Plus rate, and if you are a TRS (or have more than 300 packages per month) you can save by purchasing your Priority Mail postage through eBay.

I have used Stamps.com for many years and am very satisfied. I read all sorts of horror stories on this Board about problems printing E-Bay labels and such. I am not about to switch for a few pennies. Besides, I have non-EBay sales too, and use Stamps.com for those. I'm a firm advocate of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I use www.pirateship.com. They have always been cheaper than Ebay for packages over 1 pound, but I am now just using them for almost everything nowadays. I did have to print a media mail label via Ebay today for a book because pirateship didn't offer me a media mail option .

Greetings,

I have only used ebay shipping. I have never had an issue that was not quickly resolved. I like how tracking is automatically entered as well as buyer being notified of shipment. I should say I do not know if it offers the best price. It is so smooth for me, done in seconds.

Good luck

Did you click the little check box that says the item qualifies for media mail?
