Topeka Post Office Invites Customers to ‘eBay Days’ Mailing Demonstration on August 27

The Topeka Post Office invites current and interested eBay users to join them for a free “eBay Days” informational mailing presentation on Wednesday, August 27, 2008. The presentation will be held at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, 1515 SW 10th Ave., on Wednesday, August 27, 2008, from 2:30 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. To reserve your space, call 1-800-573-0495 ext. 2144.  Customers and media are invited to attend the presentation.

There will be live eBay registrations and demonstrations, Click-N-Ship at usps.com registrations and demonstrations, as well as information provided on using other convenient postal services. Postal representatives will give details on how to buy, sell and ship easily on eBay with the Postal Service. Instruction and hands-on experience will be given on how to print mailing labels with postage at no extra charge, and how to request a free Package Pickup without leaving your home or office.

There are 84 million active registered eBay users. Many of them already use the U.S. Postal Service and the mail for their everyday eBay shipping needs. Four years ago, the Postal Service and eBay launched an integrated mailing program. This program allows buyers and sellers to calculate postage, print labels with paid postage, pay for insurance, and request a free Package Pickup from the convenience of their ‘My eBay’ web page.

“Whether you are now a regular eBay user or just interested in finding more about how to use the Postal Service to mail much more efficiently and conveniently, our eBay event will be of great benefit to all our area postal customers,” said Postmaster B. Steven Pinkerton.

“We invite everyone to stop by. It should be very informative and a lot of fun.”
