How do I get a postal discount? Women on ebay are ruthless and threaten negative feedback and my rate is real?
I ship clothes which sometimes are heavy such as sweaters and jeans. A flat rate postal box costs 10.35. Some sellers are selling items for 5 dollars shipping and some ebay members threaten me with bad feedback for price gouging when i can verify its costing me almost 11 dollars to ship these items out priority mail.

- Stop mailing things priority. You can give people an option at checkout. Not everybody wants priority or to pay for it. Ship things first class which is cheaper. Get yourself a postal scale, so you can figure out how much it will be. If you have the weight, paypal has a way to figure it up. For priority, try Using the smaller shipping box that is about $5. You can fit a pair of jeans in one of those. They don't weigh some of those priority boxes anymore. They have a fixed rate. Maybe UPS will be cheaper. They will come pick it up from you.
- Contact the postal company.. tell them that you will have to post frequently and you will be the regular customer of that service.. hope they might charge less.. :)
- Don't use priority. And try smaller flat rate boxes, or envelopes if its a thin shirt. Also use parcel post or something cheaper. Use paypal to print shipping labels to get a postal discount. I have more tips here http://ebaysellerreview.blogspot.com/
- Use Parcel post from the post office, not priority mail or click the option when paying for your postage in paypal to display postage amount on stamp.
