I wouldn't consider myself one of the bigger guys, but my last shipment is $7.23 (Priority Legal Flat Rate) or $8.65 (Regional Box A) on eBay versus $7.45/$8.92 on PirateShip. If you're selling low margin, single issue comics this way, every penny counts. What are you using for creating labels? Usually the lowest I pay for PLFR is $7.55.

I ship right out of eBay. I currently hold "Top Rated Seller" status because of strong C2E2 sales from February/March. However, even before that, I had "Above Standard" and offered 1-Day turnaround times for shipping. At least one of these is required (or maybe it's a combination) to get a shipping discount. Typically it's a 5-10% discount, which is significant and can add up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free, easy, dependable, bolts up to eBay. They do shipping, and only shipping. Why depend on anyone who does shipping as a sideline? if someone here pays me by paypal... littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you like it, and it's up and running, that's the right thing to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't calculate my postage or get to the printing stage. Weird. Yet I had just printed a lable via ebay. Not trying to be a jerk or anything but I'm just curious why a thread title has uncorrected misspellings. I understand if its just not that big a deal but if you could clarify. Just because I am a curious person that is all. Comics4All 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very annoying, but no one apparently cares. Except you and me, @kav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blob Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Why would I spend time correcting misspellings here? I don't know why it did not autocorrect. But frankly, why does anyone care, if folks understand the intent? Edited May 9, 2020 by the blob kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning55 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Just a pet peeve for some of us who crave accuracy in life in general. Don't like math mistakes, grammar mistakes, spelling errors, any kind of sloppiness. Would like to see people take some pride in their output, themselves, their surroundings, their manners. There's a general "I don't care", "my bad", "whatever" thing going around. What goes around, comes around, so sooner or later someone who doesn't care affects you. What if we just tried a little to maintain a higher standard? That would be cool. But I don't see that happening anytime soon. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also still in the first post. Maybe a sneaky clickbait attempt .... just kidding. Curious if anyone knows if PayPal allows you to customize the insurable value on Ebay sales during the printing process? I think Ebay only allows insurable value to be what the item sold for.
