Paypal makes you pay 19 cents for the delivery confirmation fee, though the post office supplies that information for free. It's just another way for Paypal to squeeze out some more money from sellers. I try to use the USPS for priority mail because they throw me a 5% discount. On large packages over 5 pounds I use Fed Ex Ground. It is about 20-25% cheaper than UPS and they give me an 8% discount just for asking for it. They are just as reliable as UPS. Since ebay only has UPS for calculating postage, I usually wind up with about $3-5 more in my pocket due to the difference between the posted UPS price and the actual Fed EX Ground price. Something to think about.
