Click & Send saves me just shy of $3 per 500gm satchel (I print the labels in greyscale on the fastest setting, and my ink cartridge has printed hundreds of labels and is still going...)
I worked out the savings based on the following (which I posted in another thread recently) and is based on the 500gm satchel prices. There are other C&S services (non-eBay branded satchels / boxes) where some of this information and pricing won't apply).
The pre-paid satchels can be bought in bulk, with the best discount at 100 satchels or more in one purchase, making the cheapest you can get them $6.48 each. They have a tracking number, but that's tracking only and generally, to qualify for PayPal seller protection, you have to register them at additional cost (standard cost $3.20, minimum $2.70 if purchased in bulk). That makes them cost a minimum of $9.18 and maximum of $10.40 to be equivalent to the Click & Send signature on delivery service.
C&S signature on delivery will cost $7.20 for the service ($6.20 basic service plus $1 for optional signature on delivery), plus satchel and label printing costs (that's around 20c, give or take depending on the quantity of satchels purcased and ink costs), so even at a total of say $7.50, that makes a difference of between $1.68 at the cheapest satchel / registered cost, and $2.90 if standard prices for those are paid.
Both of these options qualify for up to $100 compensation and provide the documentation required for PayPal's seller protection - the one advantage a normal satchel + registered has is that you can insure the contents for an amount above $100, which you can't do with an eBay satchel.
If not using Signature on Delivery, the savings will vary depending on which service you compare it to, as it doesn't quite equate to registered, but as it qualifies for Seller Protection it's better than the standard pre-paid satchels.
