When creating a shipping label on Paypal?

BayArea925 · Aug 3, 2009

Do i choose package/thick envelope and does delivery confirmation come with it, i dont have to check anything to have it and I can just put it in my mailbox?
Sorry never done it before

Great choice using paypal shipping, let me know if you have any additional questions. As for the drop downs, yes, choose "package/thick envelope" each time you send a card in a padded envelope and yes, DC comes standard in all printouts and you are automatically charged the very modest $0.18 fee. Feel free to pm me if you need any other clarification.

and choose 2-5 day first class mail and make sure the mailer is at least 1/4 inch thick. A packing peanut is best

When using Paypal shipping, make sure your package is at least 3/4 inch thick because you HAVE to use DC, and if it is not 3/4 inch thick, it is POSSIBLE to have additional postage charges on the recipient's end.

Also, self-stick labels are AWESOME! In my opinion well worth it.

Also, you'll need to enter the package weight. Usually, 1 card in a top-loader & team bag in a bubble mailer with invoice is around 2 ounces for me. If you are going to be using it frequently, I'd suggest getting a postal scale to weigh your packages. I got mine from Wal-Mart and I think it was around $15-$20.

Yes, remember the thickness! I have a card sitting at the post office now that is waiting for .58 postage due. Don't know if its because of this, or the guy just skimped on shipping. :?

Lucky. My post office automatically bumps packages to priority mail if the thickness doesn't meet their standards. I've had to cover $3.50+ one time because of this. I should note that I live in a small town and they have the time to do all that. It sucks.
