If you are eligable for business 250 on C & S pricing is competitive, plus you have the option of express with C & S.

 

Not the same satchels. 

 

Processing is different. Ebay you do one at a time and its added to ebay invoice, C & S you do a batch and pay via a checkout process using CC or paypal, few more steps but you are batch processing. With Ebay print oine label on one sheet C & S upto 4 labels per sheet

 

For ebay labels I set print preference to two pages per sheet, use one size for invoice, the other for label. i dont seperate until I pack each order that avoids accidently putting wrong label on wrong order, something I often did with C & S no matter how careful I tried to be.

Thank you lane, with ebay postage at $7.15 for 500gr satchel, is click and send cheaper. Not sure how much longer ebay are going to leave them at the price though.

You can also use C & S to send any parcel to any address not just imported Ebay sales and addresses.

Also, with Business 250 rates C&S Extra Cover is $1 per $100 parcel value instead of $1.50.

The ebay postage labels are the best option - as long as you realise that the charges are added to  your ebay invoice and you only pay once a month and it's a bit of a hassle if you want a receipt for GST
