paypal shipping??? How to start
what all do i need? I have noticed that i pay way too much for shipping at teh PO. I noticed BC all incoming packages from paypal come with free dc or some like .20 and shipping is still 1/2 of what i spend. what all do i need to get that started? and does it run smooth? do I just put my mailings in my box and lift the flag? tahnks for all the help. Anyone have extra scales or recommendations?

What i do is just buy stamps and send them through my mailman. I've noticed that the post office make you pay so much more.
A bubble mailer with one card is only $0.88 and i just use two stamps. AT the post office they were charging me $1.34 and that's almost .50 per bubble mailer. And it adds up after 10 trips to the PO. So i save on shipping and gas that it takes to get to the PO.

I put 3 $0.44 stamps if there are more than one card i'm mailing. Really depends on how wide the mailer gets

I use paypal shipping quite a bit for my trades, it is pretty easy once you get it set up. You just need to know (or estimate) how much your stuff weighs, a bubble mailer w/ 1 card is 1 oz. etc. You can set up a template on paypal that sets it up the same every time if you want. Then you pretty much just type the address, print the label and drop it in your mailbox with the flag up.

this is a double-edged sword, especially on here. if your cards for some reason get lost in the mail, you have no shot at winning a dispute on here because you have no proof you sent. ive been in that position before and it sucks because youre losing your cards and sending back theirs

go into your post office, and when they tell you 1.18$ or whatever it is for a light packet (bubble mailer) tell them u just want a regulat stamp instead, 58 cents or whatever it is. They will say "Well thats at your own risk", but i've done it on MANY occasions and the packages always get there.
