How to ship through PayPal & the supplies you'll need

So in my last post I showed you how to invoice through PayPal. In this post I am going to show you how to ship through PayPal.

Shipping through PayPal is cheaper than at the post office and your mailman can come pick it up from you!

A few of the supples you'll need!

  • A computer or device to air print from.
  • A printer, some people use label printers, I don't because my kids like to use my printing paper and I also print other items, I find it easier to use a regular printer. 
  • Printing Paper
  • Polymailers These are what I use....click here a 10x13 will work for most items but for those large items I use these...click here
  • For priority mail you can order supples for free straight from usps.com or pick them up at your post office. My usual items for priority are Padded Flat Rate Mailers and Medium Flat Rate boxes.
  • A scale, shipping or kitchen scale will work, here is what I use...click here
  • Shipping Tape.

Now let walk you through how to ship, If you are one that would rather watch a video here is a link to the video on my channel. How to ship using PayPal, I also walk you through scheduling a pick up with USPS.

1. Start off by logging into your PayPal. You will see recent activity, click that arrow. Anything that has been paid and is ready to ship will show a button that says "Print Shipping Label". Go ahead and click that. 

2. That will bring you to this page, if your package is under 16oz you will ship first class otherwise you'll have to ship priority. Go ahead and select "First Class" in the drop down menu and enter the weight.

 3. Super easy right! Now click "calculate shipping cost" that will give you the price. Then click "print shipping label".

4. That will then bring you to your label. Go ahead and click print, now your done! PayPal will automatically send the buyer a tracking number!

If you have and question or comments please don't hesitate to ask!
