Right, the advantages of using eBay's system are (1) shipping is discounted, (2) the tracking number is automatically uploaded into eBay's system so buyers immediately know the progress of their package (and as part of eBay's Top Rated Seller's program, you need to upload tracking info within a business day of payment and (3) the shipping label is pre-printed so less chance of package being lost due to messy handwriting. Of course, to use eBay's system, you usually need to know the weight of the package, so unless you ship the same way all of the time (e.g., small bubble envelope, 1 PSA card, 2 thin strips of cardboard, packaging slip = 3oz) or have a scale, this can be difficult.
