When you create all of your shipping labels online, you get to bypass lines like these at the post office and just drop your packages at the counter.
That’s one reason I just spent 20 minutes going through all the forums I’d posted in to find the one with the link to paypal shipping when the customer hasn’t paid through paypal.
I’ve been doing some sample freebies, and every now and again, I do have customers who pay by check or money order. I’ve always gone to usps.com to create the shipping labels for these orders.
I like shipping through paypal though because it keeps my records all nice and tidy. I try to keep all of my expenses in one place. So this link to paypal shipping when you don’t have an order through paypal is super helpful.
I can’t find a word link to this anywhere on Paypal. I must be missing something. So if you need to ship something where you haven’t gotten payment via paypal, here’s the link:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now
Now I won’t have to search forums for it again, since I’ll have it right here on my blog!
Thank you glasstasatictreasures for the information!
I’ll have it on your blog too— lol
You should check out: http://www.letsets.com/ for an easy google base formatter. Took me 5 minutes tops to save my shop info into xml with this tool and set it up on google base. Just need a google account and read the instructions. Those that use this format to help upload into google base will start seeing search results within 24/48 hours says google help information. 🙂
I sell stuff on ebay and started selling books on amazon and this link is excellent so I can make lables for my amazon orders. i even called paypal tech support and they knew nothing about a way to make Generic lables. definitly added to favorites! Thanks!!!
PayPal’s shipping service is awesome.
It saves you money and its a free service (you still have to pay USPS =P )
You can ship all of usps’s domestic services (including media mail and parcel post, hard to find a free service for those)
