Save Money On Postage

This is just one of my money-saving tips:

PayPal Shipping For Anything ~ Did you know that you can print shipping labels with PayPal for anything you want to ship, even if there has been no PayPal transaction? Need to send something to your Aunt Sally? No problem. Printing shipping labels with PayPal is easy.

You do have to have a PayPal account to print PayPal postage, but you do not need to have had a money transaction with someone. And you will still get any discounted rates that PayPal offers for eBay transactions. These are often lower than the rates offered on USPS.com.

The steps below show you how to print a PayPal postage label if there has been no money transaction.

PayPal ~ Print Shipping Label With No Transaction

1. Copy and paste the following URL into your browser:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now

2. Press ENTER.

3. Log Into PayPal.

4. Fill out the Ship To Information.

5. Fill out the Shipment Information.

6. Fill out the Shipment Options.

7. Click on Confirm and Purchase Your Label.

8. Confirm the information on the next screen and click on Pay and Continue.

9. Click on Print Label (You can print a PayPal sample label first if you like).

10. Confirm your printer and click OK. PayPal postage will print.

If there has been a transaction on say, eBay, then you do not need to use the URL above to print shipping labels with PayPal. Instead:

1. log into your PayPal account and find the transaction.

2. Click on Print Shipping Label.

From there the instructions are the same as above except that you do not need to fill in the Ship To Information - it will already be there for you.

It's nice to save money on postage...you can also give these packages to your mailman so there is no need to waste gas going to the post office...every little bit helps...
