Which is better? Paypal shipping label or Ebay shipping label

I just sold a bunch of stuff on Ebay for the first time in years.

Now I need to mail.

Can I get some help on the pros and cons of the Ebay shipping label vs Paypal shipping label. For all I know they are the same. But if not please help.

Thanks

I use paypal shipping and have not used ebay shipping. a parcel weighing up to 3 ounces with d/c is $1.64 thru paypal. the same item shipped at the post office is $2.80 and change.

I am not 100% sure this is still the case, but when I sold an item on
eBay they gave me the option to pay for postage and it automatically
went through eBay. eBay postage allowed me to insure the item for
over $500, plus they gave me two options for insurance (either USPS
insurance or their 3rd party insurer).

Recently I had to send a watch in for repair. I used Paypal shipping since
I did not have the option to use eBay shipping for a non-eBay item. The Paypal
shipping only allowed me to insure the watch for up to $500, claiming this was
the max allowed for online postage sales.

Those are the two difference I noticed, with the edge going to eBay.
Obviously, both companies are basically one and the same.

ebay shipping can be used to mail anything. You just have to click to print a label for a previous item that you've already sold and shipped. Then change the addressee information, the weight and size of the package, and the service level.

I prefer ebay shipping over paypal shipping because after the label is generated, I click to open the entire label in a new browsing tab, then I take a screen shot, and I put it into my paint program. Once it's there, I have complete control over it, I can resize it and I can change things if necessary. With paypal shipping, you have to print through the browser using paypal's information.
