Advice on trying to merge shipping and Paypal efficiently

Hello Indie's,

Looking for a little advice on shipping, postage, and web-site order taking with PayPal.

I have my web site nearly completed, but am very hesitant to go live until I have an efficient ( for a start up) plan for the order taking through getting it in the mail. My credit card bills encourage me to expedite this procedure!

My website is utilizing PayPal, as it seemed the least confusing to me at this point, and most efficient to start with. I felt I could justify the cost.

I have checked with the post office and they referred me to a company they are affiliated with called "stamps.com" and with this, I can weigh postage and print stamps at home. It offers quite a bit of record keeping capability, as does the PayPal, and I want to get the most out of both together with out duplicating or confusing the programs. I also want to print out the mailing labels and invoices. Record keeping will help satisfy state and federal needs for taxing, and for my own bookkeeping purposes.

Now for the crowning blow, I am pretty basic in my computer skills and working on finding someone local and affordable to help me achieve my needs here. Any thoughts on who to look for?

Any suggestions and/or advice is welcome. I need to keep it as simple and effective as possible.

Thanks!
