Ebay Seller PSA: Shipping costs

[slayer202]

I'm probably late to the party on this, but didn't Paypal used to give a discount for Ebay shipping? I can't remember if I used to ship directly through the Ebay website, but for the last year+ I've been using the Paypal website and I just realized there hasn't been a discount. If you use the Ebay site, you get the discount. Who knows how much money down the drain that has been....Also, Ebay gives you $100 free insurance with USPS Priority while Paypal only gives you $50. It seems like Paypal does not charge as much for larger packages, whereas Ebay up-charges you at a certain point. Ebay was still cheaper on the bigger package I just checked. Also, in the new Ebay seller tools I should now be able to see a better picture of all my fees, as it does not calculate the shipping fees if you use Paypal. God these companies suck

IIRC the USPS discount was always via the eBay partnership

It's cheaper for me to print a shipping label through paypal than through USPS click-n-ship. Not sure about eaby.
