Perhaps a friend, co-worker, wife, etc., could help you out?If you do have a printer, though, you're set. All you need is to print your postage through either PayPal or the USPS' Click-N-Ship program (which, more or less, are essentially the same creature) and leave the packages at your doorstep for pickup.It's what I've done for quite a while now. I have not been inside a post office since sometime in 2004 (no lie; really), and I've sold and shipped hundreds of eBay items in that time.

From a recent personal experience, dont even(or ever for the matter) consider putting up 330 auctions. I was worried about you when I saw that many auctions! I think the most I have ever run at one time is about 90 auctions. Man, you're gonna have a lot of packages to get ready in 5 days!!!
