Expanding Amazon/Ebay Sales, Does Anyone Use These Methods?

Hi,

Has anyone found that their Amazon or Ebay sales have made it more efficient to use the following methods?

PO BOX

SMARTSTAMP

Im thinking of maybe using these but was wanting to see if anyone else uses them or what people think of them

Thanks

:A

    Mmmmm ... Question

    1. PO BOX - why would you want to go and pick up your own mail when it can be delivered?
    2. SMARTSTAMP - why would you want to pay extra on top of postage + printer costs and presumably no POP if using a postbox?

    just a bit puzzled.
    Learn to laugh at yourself ... everyone else has:rotfl:

    Post and Packing of more than £5,000 per year and you can open an account. That is the cheaper most cost effective way of posting items out.

    I use neither, I keep my sales and losses down by taking all my items to the PO and getting certificates of posting. As for a PO box, why? Virtually all my buyers pay by paypal so I get very few cheques, and if I am buying stuff I like it delivered to my door.
