Hello Everyone
What is the preferred method for shipping... both as a seller and as a buyer.
I typically offer shipping included in the price of the coin, but there's a wide range of shipping options. Also, does Paypal require Delivery Confirmation on sales of less than $250 or can I send First Class with Certified mail option. The reason I ask is that my PO requires Priority Mail to get Del Conf... add insurance on top of it and my 6x9 bubble mailer packages are coming out to $7-8 each. Not what I had originally anticipated when calculating shipping!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I print my labels/postage from the PayPal site....Delivery confirm is only .19 and you can ship First Class package (under 13 oz.) ....insure if you want...
Usually a 3 oz. bubble mailer with a single slabbed ASE is under $2 (with delivery confirm)

I think you should question this if you are using First Class Parcel rate which all bubble mailer are.
check this out:
USPS link
check Delivery Confirmation and it'll give you a total for First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation. You can send First Class mail with Delivery Confirmation. I do it all the time.

You don't need a label printer to use PayPal shipping. It will print on regular paper. You just have to cut and tape.
