This has been an ongoing problem for eBay and PayPal users who wish to print their shipping labels through eBay or PayPal not only for the discount (which you can also get through USPS.com), but also for the sake of the auto tracking for the buyer and seller. Yes, you can manually enter tracking information if you don't print labels through PayPal, but that can be time consuming. Unfortunately, eBay has NOT allowed ShipInsure option for everyone. In fact, there are very very few that have ever gotten to use it. So, we must buy & print our labels and customs forms online, use up our ink, paper and time only to have to purchase the additional insurance at the post office AND some of them also charge the difference you would have paid without the discount. They say since they had to do some work they must take away your online discount, even though you had NO option to purchase the additional insurance online through PayPal. I spoke with a Post Master and the problem lies solely with PayPal since USPS.com does allow purchasing of additional insurance, but PayPal does not have their system set up that way.
