Ebay postage labels on paypal

[learntojive]

When you sell an item on ebay you can go into Paypal and print a label for the correct amount of postage and then you don't have to put stamps on. Does anyone know if there's an option to send the item second class, I only have first class on the drop down list. Thanks

Maybe your parcel is too heavy for 2nd class. I haven't used the paypal postage thingy, but if you have already input the weight of the parcel, then I am presuming that it will only give you the available options.

As an experiment, try putting a lighter weight in and see if it gives you more options.

It won't let you have second class as an option, but not so strange when a lot of items are actually cheaper first class.
You can also pront postage on the Royal Mail site, don't know if this is cheaper i.e gives you second class.

tbh, paypal can get a bit expensive when printing postage (about 10% per item extra). I'm using www.scrobbld.co.uk to receive the information from paypal (when i receive a new payment) and then use the website to export the information to a csv file which i then print out on a brother label printer. Much quicker :D and you don't have to login to paypal which wastes too much of my life these days.

Thanks everyone, there definitely isn't an option for second class on there.
I can't say I've ever come across 1st class being cheaper than 2nd and when you sell a �40 skirt for 99p the extra 50p or whatever for 1st class makes all the difference!
I'll look at the royal mail option and also the scrobbld ...thanks again

my internet was so slow this week and I had to print things off PayPal so I tried to find another way. And I am quite happy now. I just have to log in to scrobbld and my orders are there. I export all the new orders (which are filtered by the way) and import them to my label printer. I also import them to my microsoft office accounting for record. Boom all done. Give it a shot it really worth it.

scrobbld is absolutely amazing

an update on my last message a few month ago. scrobbld is now released with a new interface. now you can attach manuals to transactions, export them for label printer, smartstamp, microsoft office accounting etc., see your sale's stats, send notifications to buyers and have a customers page so that your customers can see the order progress without contacting you.
