Still get free confirmation as long as you print the label with barcode. Even if it's without the postage.
I didn't know that! I have always printed the postage.
Lol, the only reason I know it is I've NEVER printed the postage.
Well, dangit, switch hit for a change!! I do certainly like the setup on the My Ebay page for shipping...I love the prefilled-in labels!
Haven't even seen that yet. My first selling auctions in about 8 months end this Sunday.
On your Ebay page, by the buyer's name will say "print shipping label"..click it and it does the same as on the direct USPS site except not only your part is filled in, but so is the buyer's! The postage is deducted from your paypal automatically.
Do I still have to have an account at USPS?
I don't see why because paypal pays them.
It would be just like I used to go in and use my paypal debit in the PO.

Will sure give that a try then! No more triple checking addresses! 
Lol, you do that too, huh? Well, it is the witching hour so I think I'll call it a night. Sweet dreams! 
You read my mind... You have some too... 
you do not have to have a account to use the ebay/paypal shipping label, the funds are deducted straight from your paypal account
Also if someone were to buy something from you "off ebay" and pay you with paypal you can create the same shiping label for those items as well through paypal
It is all paypal based, also there is a option to have the post office pick up your packages FREE OF CHARGE on next delivery day. have not tried it yet but have clicked on it and read about it,

Did I read somewhere on here that ebay bought PayPal?
Maybe ebay should just buy the postal system or FedEx, too! Based on deliveries to my house lately, I'd bet ebay auctions have become a decent percentage of all parcels delivered.
That way ebay could own the cow, the milk truck, and the dairy store.
(We'd all still bid on the milk, though.)

Yes, Ebay owns paypal.
...Mrs.M talked me into using the PayPal paid USPS labels, too!
One thing I want to point out, even though the addresses are inserted by PayPal into the appropriate fields for you, you still can click to edit them if you desire. I typically modify the recipient's address if they've entered all lowercase letters -- that bugs me too much to let it go that way!
Definitely is a slick way to ship via USPS! I believe there is the option to ship via UPS too, but I've not used that option yet.

Jabber, yes you are right. You can ship UPS, however it is not usually cost effective unless the package is over 5#. ( lOL, Had I better add IMO?)

Wow! I wish I owned ebay.
Boy, don't we all!!
Previously being a powerseller myself my take on leaving feedback varies from customer to customer. I mainly sell high grade comic books, so condition is of utmost importance. I've never had any bad situation personally, but I have heard many of the horror stories from fellow collecting buddies of mine across the country who have had buyers switch books on them or claim to have never received an item, etc. Is the buyer's only responsibility to make a payment?
For instance, I remember having a buyer from New York who sent me a paypal payment, which had a confirmed address. I sent the item out via USPS Priority insured with delivery confirmation. Two days later, paypal emails me stating that they have reason to believe that the buyer sent funds from a stolen credit card and that the funds that I received have been reversed and taken out of my account! Out of sheer dumb luck, I received the package I sent him because the address was a little off and the person at the incorrect adress refused the delivery. I calmly emailed the buyer explaining what had happened and that I wanted him to pay for my ebay fees and postage fees and to my surprise he sent me a money order as promised. Would I have been so lucky if I left a positive right away? I highly doubt it. After speaking to the rightful owner of the credit card, which was his grandmother, I discovered that this person was out on parole and that she was so ashamed of what he has and had done again!
You can take that to the bank!

As a buyer, I have rarely received feedback before I've left it for the seller. I do see why a seller would want to wait, but I feel that once I've paid, my end of the transaction has been completed. Again, as a buyer, the only reason I could see a seller waiting until I leave them feedback is if (and I'm not ignoring the previous post - it's just a very isolated example) the seller wants to pad their chances of getting a positive feedback from me.
