Anybody Out There Do Retail Arbitrage? I Gots A Question....

Ok, I'm in the midst of listing some items on eBay and I have a large item that needs to ship Fedex.
eBay wants me to choose a shipping category called "Fedex Smart Post" instead.

I don't quite understand something so if anyone out there sells on eBay, Amazon or some other platform and you have used this hybrid shipping option, please email me so I can ask you something.

I know it's basically a Fedex service but Fedex hands it off to the US post office for final delivery.
Do I need to find a Fedex retailer to drop it off at or what?  And will the Fedex retail location accept this eBay generated paid for shipping label?

Thanks!

Get Your Packages Mailed before Sunday....Rate Increase!

Just a quick reminder that some of the US Postal Rates for package services are going up as of Monday, Jan. 4th.  So if you need to mail a package, get on it and get it mailed Thursday or Saturday morning before the rates rise!

I had forgotten about this latest increase in prices.  I had to mail a rebate this week that required extra postage so I had to go to the PO.  Usually, the week AFTER Christmas you could land aircraft in the place, it's that deserted!
Imagine my surprise at having to stand in a loooong line.....for about 20 minutes to get some extra stamps stuck on my envelope Tuesday!  Why the heck is everyone mailing packages on December 29th?

Oh yah....rate increase....
Duh!
