hi, yeah yeah i kno its all about moneysaving but what about time saving? after all money comes back but time doesnt! for all ebayers out there, print your postage directly from paypal, stick to your parcels and you wont have to wait in the queue listenin to some old biddy goin on about how her pension has decreased! just try it! i ebay a lot and have learned this little trick, you can print your postage labels directly through paypal, u might need sum scales to weigh bigger parcels but its all good if you're always at the post office!
