Currently .90 at the post office but only .20 online. So you'd save maybe .75 per package plus you can just hand them to the mailcarrier.

It's still silly that they're holding up $11 unless the buyer is overdrawn.

We have pretty well finished our sales on eBay but will keep what you said in mind. My thoughts in general is that tracking on a $11.00 package is kind of silly. Especially when the postage/handling is $3.00 out of the total price. Would do tracking on packages that are $20.00 and up. Thanks.
