Any Ebay sellers here use stamps.com?

I have been selling more and more on Ebay lately, and was wondering if anyone uses the services at stamps.com. Seems like an easy way to get labels, delivery confirmation, and insurance for the packages you send without waiting in line at the P.O. Any thoughts on this?

Is that the service where it prints the label along with postage and debits/charges your paypal account? If so I used it for a network card I sold. Thing is the label was big enough for that box (bout the size of a sports card box) but I dont recall being given the option of something smaller. It was pretty convienent.

If not the same I will be watching this thread as it sounds useful becaus ethe PO is a little bit aways for me.

Hey guys,

I use it and it's a great service. They have been running a special where you get a free digital scale, $25 worth of free postage, and free labels. At the end of the first month, if you don't want to continue you just quit and you keep everything. Terrific deal - not only do I know longer have to go to the PO....but delivery confirmation is only 13 cents instead of 55 and free with Priority. The other thing that I have found is that my packages actually get there quicker than before - not sure if it's the barscans or what....but my packages now seem to get priority treatment all the time.

The monthly charge is like $15 after the first month.....so you have to decide what your time is worth.....but I think it's a cheap price to pay for not waiting 20-30 minutes in line every week.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could provide me a link. It looks like I will be signing up.

Not to be a jerk Aknot, but if we're talking about stamps.com, then don't you think the link would be, oh, I don't know, stamps.com?

Which is more better endicia.com or stamps.com?

Is insurance (domestic and international) available now on stamps.com?

No problem. I read his post as he used it THROUGH EBAY. Meaning I thought "Ebay" users may have got that "special" deal. And I type in stamps.com and nothing happens. I then tried www.stamps.com and it worked.

Ah, so they charge you for the service on top of the postage charges...still, it seems worth it to me. The plain paper labels seem to fit on a bubble mailer or small box, but I think they make you buy adhesive labels for actual stamps. It has to be better than trying to get to the P.O. during their business hours (which of course, mirror my own). Thanks for the opinions thus far!
