LYNCHBURG, VA — From Postal shipping options to eBay Basics, two Postal seminars on September 13th, scheduled for 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Lynchburg Post Office, 3300 Odd Fellows Rd., will show customers how to use Postal services to make eBay work for them. “There's a Post Office on eBay,” said Lynchburg Postmaster Ted Bell, “and there's no better way than these eBay Day Boot Camps to learn how to use Postal services and products to make eBay work for you.”

The seminars will explain Priority Mail and Express Mail packaging and services as well as using the free Package Pickup Service to save time. The eBay basics will cover how to get started, setting up a Seller's Account, and opening a PayPal account. How to research items, take pictures for auctions, pack items for shipping and how to determine fees will also be covered. Each seminar is approximately 2½ hours long.

“We've made eBay shipping as easy and convenient as possible,” Bell explained, “to include our Automated Postal Center which makes shipping after hours possible.”
