Postal Letter

Will the USPS pickup large envelopes from mailbox?

OK, so I am planning to sell a few items on eBay. I have no time to deliver the packages to the USPS Post office, so I was wondering if they would pick them up. -The 'Large Envelopes' are 6"x9" and 8.5"x11" (about 1-2" in thickness) -They will have prepaid shipping labels from Pay-Pal. If I just put them in the mailbox and put up the flag, would they pick it up and ship it?

1. Yes, they should pick up any outgoing mail from your mailbox as long as it's USPS mail and has postage.
2. My earlier reply was in error. With the prepaid shipping label, they should be picked up. The 11 ounce limit is for packages with stamps for postage.
