if you ship through paypal or Ship n Click (at the postoffice website) Delivery Confirmation service is free. Although that only tells you when the item arrives at the destination.

I’ll definitely check out priority mail, I just assumed it would be more expensive. Can you get tracking numbers when you ship priority?

I’ve found that Paypal will often charge more than just going to the post office and shipping from there. Personally, I like to use the priority mail boxes. You can order them online from the post office for no charge.

“I think most of the free stuff on usps.com site is for priority or express packaging, which I’d never want to use for eBay stuff. Maybe someone can correct me if I’m wrong?”

Yes, it is…. I ship most things priority when I’m selling on ebay. That way I don’t have to hassle with buying boxes or envelopes. They deliver my priority boxes/envelopes and will pick them up. Plus, I like using priority because I know exactly how much it will cost to ship with the flat rate boxes/envelopes.

eBay has been hit and miss for me. I plan to try it again this week, though!

I went through my closets over the weekend and am purging lots of items as well. Seeing that I am donating 5-6 bags of clothes to the salvation army, I wanted to recover some of my costs as well so I listed several items on ebay. I just found out the other day that you can get free shipping supplies from the postal service. You can order online at http://www.usps.com Hope this helps!
