Paypal shipping question.

[Tomlinson21RB]

Hello Mr Bank President

I am not going to rob your bank, but hypothetically speaking how would I do it without getting caught. No please, spare no detail.... here draw it out on this floor plan I have.

Plenty of people are curious about what security measures are in place at a bank without having the intent to rob a bank.

Chris, do you REALLY think I would do something like that?

Come on.

:lol:

If you are really all about education as you say in your post, then ask it in that manner?

How are the DC and the barcode linked? Are they linked? What happens if a label fails and I have to print again....make it easier on yourself.

Silly me for thinking people wouldn't jump to ridiculous accusations, that I'm going to risk my life for a $2.30 label.

That's the type of people we're dealing with, so be it.[/quote:3u8tqlap]

Even better yet....who cares, why not just print out the second label? Why wonder what security is in place in the first place? I really doubt that your post was to find out the security in place for mailing packages for your personal information. Are you applying for a job w/ the post office?

I'm sorry that you doubt it. I was curious. Figured someone here worked for the post office or had information about it. Apparently not. Now, we're all going to hop on the bandwagon and think that the guy in the $5,000 suit is going to defraud the government.

Really? Like the guy in the $10,000 suit is going to figure out how to steal from the USPS on a message board? Come on!

I think you are going a little overboard. It appeared as if Jeff was trying to print out a duplicate label to ship cards, and wondering if he could w/o getting charged. Thats when the shitstorm started and people brought up stealing from the USPS. But let's go back to the original statement, do you really think that it is ridiculous for anyone to think otherwise of his intentions from what he initially posted? I don't think Jeff realized it would spill into people calling him a criminal, and he tried to play it off.

I had no intention of trying to print out a duplicate label to ship cards and not get charged. I have every intention of paying paypal for the label.

My question was what would happen if the same label was put on two packages. Not that I had any intent to do it because I want the cards I'm sending to get to their destination, but I became curious as to what happen if the same label went through twice. I knew they wouldn't go through, but I was curious as to what would stop it. I thought I made that painfully clear in the original post. I guess not.

I appreciate that everyone thinks the worst of me.

I put that there because I intentionally tried to defuse this exact situation.

Edit: apparently there's a way to defeat the curse screener. Let me go and edit that out.

Just so you know....

For someone that is supposed to be good with words and explaining the facts in their everyday life, you really sound bad in that statement.

1. You had no intent to do it...but...
2. You were curious....but...
3. You knew it wouldn't go through....but...
4. You were curious (again!) who would stop it....but....
5. Your intentions were completely noble and honest.

I get it now. Thanks for clearing that up.

It would have gotten the same reaction regardless of the person posting.

There is NO WAY to make people not talk about defrauding the usps when you post something like that.

"Now, again, I have NO INTENTION of screwing over the USPS and breaking the law, and I will pay for a new shipping label assuming Paypal lets me (I think they will). But, because my mind is trained to think of all sides of a situation, I am curious about this. If anyone's tried it, heard of someone trying it, or works for the USPS, let me know. I'm SURE there's a mechanism in place that won't allow it; I'm just curious as to what it is."

I guess that wasn't clear. I'll be less vague next tme.

It dosen't matter how you color it, you were talking about re using a shipping label.

Yeah, I was. And I was saying how I wouldn't do it. And I was curious as to what would stop it. Note above that I knew something would stop it, but was curious as to what would stop it. I'm giving away thousands of cards, I want the recipients to get them, and I wouldn't do anything to get in the way of that nor would I commit fraud. But I was curious as to what would stop the packages from going through because, as I print out 20-30 at a time, the paypal labels look pretty damn similar except for the D/C bar codes.

So can anyone answer the question?

 

[cgilmo]

I don't pack search, and I don't intend to pack search. But how is it done, and how can I do it?

This thread is awesome.

I have no love or hate for Jeff, but you guys are overreacting. If I had posted this question you guys wouldn't be jumping all over me about it.

How about we just all sit around the fire and share a puff from the calumet and then calm down.

 

[Pinbreaker]

I accidently did this earlier this year. I had sold about 10 items on EBAY and was printing the labels for shipping.. I had the packages ready to go and printed the labels out.. One of the labels got smeared, so I reprinted a label.. wrong one of course..

Anyway, I got a letter from the post office that I had two packages with the same label information and that I needed to contact them. I called them and they said the person I shipped both packages to, had paid for the postage..

So the post office does know if you use the same label..
