How and Why You Should Consider Using The PayPal Postage-Shipping Label For Your Packages, Parcels, and post.
Do you know how easy it is to print the PayPal-eBay shipping-postage label? Really, you get the whole works – postage, addresses, names, insurance, tracking numbers, Delivery and Signature Confirmation… everything!
5 Steps To Help You Print Out and Use Your PayPal Shipping Label
1 – Search for any eBay sales in the “My eBay” section or look for PayPal receipts in PayPal. Once located, click the link “print shipping label” on the business deal to begin the process.
2 – Type the particulars in (parcel’s weight) and choose the mailing service you’d like to use. The set-up will automatically include your name and return address, the recipient’s name and address and determine the postage for the various mail classes.
3 – Click on the “pay and continue” and your printer will start printing out the label and your PayPal account will be debited for the postage, usually less than what a Post Office would charge you.
4 – Peel/cut the label out and put it on your envelope or package.
5 – Take the package/envelope to the Post Office and drop it off.
You might be wondering if this is even possible to do with your ordinary printer paper. And, yes it is! Even if the label becomes ruined, you can reprint it over and over (but only use it on one package). If you choose not to send anything or your printer becomes jammed or quits working, you do have the option to cancel the payment for PayPal postage.
What Is So Good About The Postage-Shipping Label
1 – There is no required registration with eBay, PayPal or the post office.
2 – You can have an ordinary eBay and PayPal account to use the service.
3 – You can use either a PC or Mac system.
4 – You can use any browser of your choice.
5 – You don’t have to download anything. It’s already available for you to use. All you have to do is login into your PayPal and eBay accounts to print out the label.
6 – You don’t have to purchase any special equipment. Rather, you just need a cheap weight scale, printer and some A4 printer label paper. Bear in mind with the regular printer paper, you’ll have to cut the shipping-postage label out and tape or glue it to the package.
7 – You can create as many labels you need or want, anytime of the year.
8 – There are no PayPal, eBay or post office fees. It’s free for you to use. All you have to pay is for the postage you print out. And, for less money than what the post office typically charges you. The post office gets paid using your PayPal account.
9 – You’ll get discounts on the various mail classes – First Class, Express and Priority. You’ll even get Delivery Confirmation for 19 cents online for packages and parcels and is free for Internet priority mail.

This also allows you to compare the prices of the different mail classes. If you like what you see and have made your choice, click on the “pay and continue”. Once done, you’ll get an in-depth receipt, your label will produced and your PayPal account will be debited.
