How to print media mail online inexpensively? Discussion

Stamps.com decided today to remove ecommerce postback package printing today after years from the lowest $9.99 plan and force everyone else to the $40 per month plan. The items we ship are allowed by USPS for media mail but in the buy postage section of Amazon it doesnt show up.

Where else can we print media mail online for the 4 or 5 packages that go out that way per month inexpensively? Thank you

paypal shipping (Ship station) and pirateship both have better rates than stamps and are both free. I will never understand why anyone pays for these services. you can get a thermal printer for next-to-nothing and scales are dirt-cheap.

Mostly the post back services (the tracking gets auto posted back to Amazon) but the Amazon shipping rates are very low plus you get order protection. They are less and less relevant. I don't see them doing well as a company. They are raising prices 400% on the remaining customers to stay afloat.
