I highly recommend using Endicia to print your postage. There is an option that does NOT print the amount paid on the label. It is probably in the barcode somewhere, but your buyers can't see it.
This will definitely relieve some stress and save you from some negative feedbacks.
The problem is, some buyers will feel that you cheated them if they see $2.77 printed on the label, but you charged $3 for postage. They never take into account costs for packaging, labels, ink, tape, etc.
The added benefit is that adding a tracking number costs 19 cents, as opposed to 80 cents. And they also have cheap insurance for those times when you need to insure a package. I don't know how good or bad that is, since I've never actually had to make a claim, but the savings seem worth it.
Not to mention, you never have to stand in line at the Post Office. You can just leave the packages on the counter.
