There is a free App on Ebay called AdShip that pays you about $0.20 for every package you ship domestically with a tracking number. There has been a lot of controversy over this app, if you read the forums on eBay, a lot of people think its a waste of time and they think the customer won't like it. But, we have been using it for months now, we have not had one complaint and we've received 4 checks from them so far with another on its way.
How it works: You ship your package as you normally would with tracking (if you use ebay shipping, tracking is automatic and only $0.19 for non-priority, with the discounted online shipping it's like its free and it IS free with priority). Then you open the AdShip app through eBay, all of your tracking information will be uploaded, click get rewards on each package, rack up the rewards until you reach $50.00 and finally request a check.
The biggest down side to this app is that it takes them a long time to acknowledge that you have requested a check...2-3 weeks at times, so we usually request a check early...when we hit around the $40.00 mark and we haven't had a problem yet.
The upside is that AdShip sends your customer an e-mail telling the customer that their item has been shipped and what the tracking info is...this has reduced our e-mail from customers drastically (even though their tracking info has always been right on the page with their item). And of course it's nice to get that bonus check. If you ship as much as we do or more (we earn a check about every month and a half), it's definitely worth the extra 3-5 minutes to get a little extra back!
You can find AdShip in the Ebay apps tab and it's free.
(Just FYI we are not affiliated with AdShip in anyway except that we use it)
