I keep running into people who think they need to go to the post office to pay for shipping and such. I wanted to give a little bit of a rundown on what I do in hopes of it helping some folks here.
If someone buys something from me, I pack it up, weigh it (you can probably get a scale from ebay if you don't have one ... singles in a padded envelope should typically be under 5oz though.)
From there, I go directly to www.paypal.com/shipnow - you can fill out everything you need there for ANY sales you make, no matter how/where you sold from print the label and tape the label on your package.
Finally, you can typically just put it in your box to be picked up, OR you can go to https://tools.usps.com/go/ScheduleAPickupAction!input.action and request a pickup - this is typically free.
This has saved me LOADS of time and money - I hope it helps someone here as much as it has helped me!
