Paypal postage for your items
I am using Paypal postage for almost every parcel now.
The reasons are these:
1) Because of the new DSR ratings on ebay. When you post with Paypal they email the buyer to let them know that the parcel has been sent.
This will be useful to keep your DSR ratings high for communication.
2) You have the option to have the postage amount NOT added to the postage label where as at the Post Office Counter they put the price paid on the pack. This can bite you on the ass if you charge a few pence or pounds too much.
The postage is not displayed so the chances of you getting better DSR ratings for P+P charges are better as the buyer cannot scrutinise the costs.
This will be useful to keep your DSR ratings for P+P charges higher.

This seems to be the way forward. As much as I hate to pay Paypal for the postage there are benefits here.
Now I have 5 Post Office withing a similar distance to me and I go to a different one each time. Some Post Office officials complain that they get no money whatsoever for items posted in this way.
What do we care? We just want high DSR's right?
But it is a good tip to go to different places and not the same post office all the time!
