    For those of you who normally print your own postage through PayPal, there is a way to do it for non-eBay items as well.
    And I *think* you even get the regular discount!

    Check this out . . . there is a link in there for "PayPals Ship Now".

    I just used it to send something to a friend, and always use it to print shipping for books to my sister, because USPS doesn't offer online Media Mail.
    Cool beans, eh?

    I've used the ship now page in the past, but a PayPal CS rep recently told me not to use it because the code hasn't been updated in a long time and he said it's buggy. So I dunno.

    I've been using PayPal's Multi-Order Shipping, which also seems to give the discount.

    I just used it, and as I said, I use for my sister's things. Never had a problem.
    I don't think the multi-order thing works with non-eBay shipping?

    Hmm, maybe the CS guy didn't know what he was talking about, or maybe they're trying to discourage people from using it. But then I'd think they'd just remove the page?

    Multi-order shipping works fine for non-eBay stuff. I've used it in the past for some personal labels, and have been using it for the giveaways. I didn't check carefully, but I think it has all the shipping options that eBay does.

    I prefer to use stamps.com

    It has all the options - First Class international, Regional rate boxes, padded flat rate envelope, etc - paypal doesn't
