HeavenScentU Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just started using paypal shipping last week and like it. It offers free delivery confirmation. Just click and print. That was nice except you have to make sure your printer is on and has paper. It gives you a second chance to print. I just thought others might want to try it.

birdieluvr76 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I used it once for shipping something, and it was very easy. I thought for sure I would screw it up, and I didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racolvin Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 There is one key thing that I *HATE* about PayPal shipping - they insist that they take money out of your PayPal cash balance before anything else. I have a credit card on file on my account and for accounting purposes I would MUCH rather have any shipping charges to towards the credit card.Having talked with them on the phone about it, they told me to empty out my cash balance before doing any shipping labels and my credit card would show up as a funding option, but if there is any cash in my account they'll take that first, no matter what.It really screws things up with deposits and expense tracking, so I don't often use the PayPal shipping option. Which is a bummer because I do like the convenience of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernadette Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I really like it above the USPS site, as you can do parcel post labels with PayPal and not with USPS. The only drawback is your customer has to have paid with PayPal for you to be able to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it for my Amazon orders all the time. I normally manually put them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizimarezie Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 The only drawback is your customer has to have paid with PayPal for you to be able to use it.Ah, but you still can! Go to PayPal and before logging in, click into the multiple shipping area. Then log in. It will allow you to manually create a shipping address. You don't need to import the info from a file, either. Just type it in. I do it all the time.I love PayPal shipping! It allows me to send Parcel Post where usps.com is all 'Priority'.santa big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I use paypal for almost all of my shipping. You can manually enter labels and print them. I also like that the Fedex shipping labels with the self stick part work with paypal and they are free from Fedex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Paypal shipping is handy when it doesn't break down in the middle of generating a label. They've pissed me off more than once with this. They still owe me for the clamshells I shipped to you since the first label never printed.I've shipped 100's of packages thru them because of convenience.

Bernadette Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I cannot begin to THANK YOU enough for the info on being able to do parcel post labels with PayPal! In all the years I've been doing labels, I never knew you could do that! LOL! You've saved me hours of waiting and standing in line at the PO:bliss: . Oh well...old age, I guess. Glad I posted in this thread. A million thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSoaps Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-nowLog into your account, then go to this link. This will pull up a blank shipping section. You can ship to anyone. I use this ALL the time. It's the 1st listing in my bookmarks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Sorry about that Mystical. I hope you get it resolved soon. I like paypal. I just went to the paypal ebay site and ordered some of their boxes. It seems they have a better selection than just the USPS site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
