Are Printing Up PayPal Shipping Labels Cheaper?

[2nd-time-around-jewelry]

I have always taken my parcels to the post office & never printed labels myself. What is the advantage? Are printing up your own labels through Paypal cheaper?

Yes and no. Some Canada Post services are the same cost via paypal as over the counter (light packet, small packet).

Expedited parcel (Canada) is about 17% less expensive. Other services get smaller discounts.

Labels are available for eBay sales and for sales invoiced through paypal.
