time saving at the post office!

bobdagob

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!

Your local Post Office gets nothing from handling the parcel if it is pre-paid by PayPal postage.

I prefer to buy the postage at my local Post Office. I'd rather the commission on the postage went to our village Postmaster as he provides an excellent service.

& you still have to queue up to get your certificate of posting/ recorded delivery stamped. Not time saving at all. More likely to help close even more Post Offices. You're right Becles,talk about left hand & right hand not knowing what they're doing.

But not enough so you have learned that if you don't queue up to get your recorded delivery ticket stamped some tw*t will claim the never got the parcel and get their money back from paypal.

If you want to save time at the post office go there when it is quite!

OH dear, I fear we will soon have another thread about 'what do I do about a lost parcel when I have no stamped certificate of posting?'.

Actually they do get a trivial sum if they check it to see you have put the right postage on before stamping your receipt

Surprising how often people haven't.......
