Click and send vs Ebay postage labels

[makeuplife]

I am totally confused by click and send.

Are there any advantages to using click and send over the ebay postage label print service for a non business registered seller?

For a 500g satchel it still looks like Ebay is cheaper (even with added final value fees on postage)?

The only reason I'm looking at Click and Send is because it appears you can drop parcels off via Parcel lockers (which I don't think you can do with Ebay postage), which is appealing to me as I'm a shift worker so can't always get to a post office during business hours.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thank you

Can I ask a silly question.

If you sell products on Ebay with postage included, 

ie free postage for buyers,

And If I choose to use Ebay Postage Labels,

The final value fee for the postage, is included in the total paid

price?

Eg. 

I sell a product for $20.00 all in, free postage. its < 500g.

When sold, the 

FVF

Anchor Store 6.5% of $20.00

Then pay $7.40 for postage, assuming you have satchels.

Does ebay charge 6.5% on $7.40 aswell?

I don't think so, But if someone could confirm.

No, you only pay FVF on the total you sold i.e. $20.00

To put it simply, you only pay fees on the amount the customer pays.

Looking at My Post Business link, it mentions discounts but doesn't say what they are, or whether it's a permanent or intermittent thing. I clicked the 'register' link and it asked for my business name, but not my ABN, so it seems like it will just let you register.

It also seems to be a different thing all together than Click & Send (I use click and send primarily, but I have a Business 250 membership - to get that, I did have to provide an ABN when I applied, then I had to wait for approval (there are some requirements, like you have to be sending at least 250 parcels a year, or an average of 1 every business day). The My Post link doesn't mention anything about applying or waiting for approval either, so it might be worth registering to see what the pricing is.

It might be lower or infrequent discounts (hard to tell), but for comparison, B250 baiscally gives you 10% off the normal C&S pricing for domestic flat rate postage, and international parcels (standard and express only, not economy parcels), plus (domestic) extra cover is $1.00 instead of $1.50 per $100 (SOD remains the same price). 

eBay is still cheaper by far for the BX boxes, so I still buy those via eBay.
