Is it possible to set something up with the post to pay for shipping on the site like ebay does. If we accept a trade then something come up where you can buy postage to ship with tracking that would be awesome. I'm disabled so getting someone to go to the post office ain't easy sometimes.
Thank you for your time and am looking forward to hearing the comments.
Have a blessed day,
Bigdan.

If you have a Paypal account, you should have acces to ShipStation. Also, many people I know use PirateShip.
This site did not have transactions in mind when it started. They grew organically, and Admin decided to help the members facilitate the trades via the transaction manager.
You can make a suggestion in the New Feature tracker area: https://www.tcdb.com/FeatureTracker.cfm
Click the "+ Submit" button and describe what you want.

I have added a large portion of my inventory to the site, and currently have trading turned off (details are in my profile). I have (finally) unearthed my 2 very large boxes of Star Company minor league sets and they are available (email for details).

My wife takes PWEs to PO for me. Is their a site where I can weigh a PWE and purchase .85 worth of postage?

I highly recommend PirateShip it's my go to for purchasing shipping outside of ebay. Easy to use and keeps track of all your packages so you can check tracking. If you don't have one pick up a cheap kitchen scale to weigh packages. You can also order stamps directly from usps.com and pick the ones you want. Extra ounce stamps will help save money so you don't overpay for postage and I just picked up a nice assortment of misc donominations postage stamps for when your not sure if it'll get a non-machined surcharge.

Buy a scale. Purchase a roll of forever stamps and Xtra ounce stamps. Mail from home

I have 2 very nice scales. I just don't have an avenue to purchase the .85-1.35 it takes to mail a PWE. I need that info. I can do stamps. I don't want the receiver to pay any unpaid postage.

I believe Stamps.com has an envelope option which should suffice for PWE postage. However, I have never used their service and I believe you have to pay a monthly fee.
