Canadians, how do you print shipping off Paypal now? (1 Viewer)

[tigon]

Slight emergency here. Ever since eBay split with Paypal I haven't been able to print shipping logos or estimate costs in Paypal. Even before then it was hard to find (think I only found it after a google search). The address I used was: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now

Changing it to ca doesn't work. I can't find anything about this on google other than other people complaining about the same thing.

Looks like it's gone for good, according to this thread. https://community.ebay.ca/t5/Seller...-a-Blank-Shipping-Label-in-PayPal/td-p/308445 . Canada Post's online label printing site is a total joke and you need like 8 different credentials just to use it for international shipping. Both Paypal and Canada Post will be losing most of my business, at least on the selling side of things. Not a chance I go to the post office and do things by hand again after fulfilling everyone's latest orders with me.

Pretty sure it's because there is no solution and Paypal and Canada Post both screwed the pooch huge. AFAIK CP's "new" business model relies upon more parcels being sent... so they crippled the usual way most casual online sellers print their shipping.

I've used their actual business shipping application and it's a complete and utter mess too.

Unfortunately, I've never sold anything on eBay, so I haven't encountered this issue.

I'm not Canadian but I may have a temporary solution for you if you have a bunch of packages to mail to the US...

If you have an eBay account, make a few undesirable $0.01 listings, auction style. Ask a friend who has a US eBay and paypal account to bid on them. Then you end each of those auctions and sell to the highest bidder. Now you can go into eBay and print (5) shipping labels for each of those auctions that ended. You can change the to and from addresses when you print labels, but the caveat is that the shipping destination can only be in the buyer's country (in which case it's USA).

This won't cost you any eBay fees because the ending value is $0.01. You will pay for the labels via paypal as you would for any eBay shipping.

If you need my help, PM me and I'll bid on your auctions.
