Paypal option to ship now

At one time PayPal had an option to ship now such as for first class mail. Is that option still available? Does the payment have to made to paypal?
The last time I tried to use this option I could not get it to work. I appreciate any info you have.
Thanks,
Sharon

Hi Sharon. I am also Sharon :) When you say Paypal had an option to ship now and if the payment has to be made to Paypal, I’m thinking you mean that you would like to be able to print a shipping label on Paypal even if a customer does not buy something from you using Paypal as the payment method…

Is this right? If so, yes, you can use Paypal to print your labels without the buyer using Paypal to checkout. When on your main Paypal screen once logged in, look for Multiorder shipping on your left. From there follow the prompts and you can create your shipping label. I hope this is what you…

Hi [URL removed] To my knowledge, PP no longer offers First Class stamps-type shipping, if that’s what you’re asking. I use PP exclusively, and I always have to choose First Class Mail Parcel Service as the cheapest, usually from $2.66. Also allows choosing Media Mail and others, as you know I’m sure.

I was not printing PP labels when First Class stamps-type postage was being offered.

I have always paid from my PP acct. Don’t know any other way I could pay, except via my PP Wallet connections.

still use the shipnow option also…though sometimes I have to try a couple of times..it does not always go through on the first try…

both links go to the same screen, though the first one, as I said does not always work in the first try anymore

I was also going to suggest the Shipnow link (but trinket beat me to it).
Have bookmarked the other suggestion as it is always good to have a backup.

However I have never printed STAMP (as in letter stamps) postage, only
First Class Parcel bar-coded labels.
I did notice that First Class Parcel, you can only now put in up to 15 ounces
(it used to be up to 15.99 oz).

If you put 16 in the weight section rather than 1 for pound and keep first class mail as the chosen shipping method, you’ll get a first class mail shipping price. I just did it the other day.
