Hi All,
So I'd like to start by saying that tech support is not one of my specialties, but I've had to help a handful of friends get to the Paypal Ship Now page so I am making a post about this.
Printing a label from Paypal is really easy if either of the following has occurred:
1. You just sold something on Ebay and the buyer paid you through Paypal. Their money will go to your account and from that payment you can select simple prompts which offer you the option to pay and print a shipping label.
2. Someone just sent you money outside of Ebay, and again you have the option to print a shipping label.
Well that's not helpful if neither of these circumstances apply to you.
How Do I Print Shipping Labels If I Didn't Sell an Item on Ebay?
Right? So what about if you want to say print a shipping label for something that you didn't sell on Ebay? Unfortunately, Paypal doesn't make finding this page at all easy. Trust me, I spent close to half an hour before giving up and just doing a google search for tips on how to do this. It's so sad
, but you're probably going to have more luck doing a keyword search for directions blindly on the Web, than trying to figure out where to go using Paypal's help section.
But That Doesn't Matter, Seriously...
Don't worry it's super easy to get there and also super easy to remember how to get there...Well actually it's super easy to remember how to get there if you don't clear your cache / cookies which will remember what you typed into the search engine.
Okay okay I'll step off the soap box now :)
Here's the actual link to the get to the Paypal Ship Now page just click here
If you want to get to the Ship Now page from a search engine, just type, "Paypal ship now".
Regardless of how you navigate to this page, Remember:
You will need to log in to access this page, so this won't work if you don't have an account.
(www.Paypal.com/Shipnow) See easy like I said. Now Just don't forget those 2 words.
Why should you use this over going to the Post Office?
1. It offers Free Delivery Confirmation on many non-Flat Rate shipping methods (which is huge for confriming a package arrives and saves you $$$$$
2. It's convenient to print from home or wherever and whenever you want.
Hope this helps, to reduce at least some of the stress that can come from dealing with Paypal.
Cheers!
