somethingvinyl Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Searched for a thread, couldn't find anything. I recall back a while ago someone posted a link that would allow anyone to purchase postage through Paypal, and I bookmarked it. But now the link doesn't work.I sold a record, the person paid as a gift. Is there a way to purchase posted through Paypal? ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowBearToe Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Didn't realize there was a way to make that work. I usually just take it in and do everything there if it's gifted. Glad I know now, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exquisite Death of NK Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 You can't ship media mail through USPS.com. Yes you can, I always use this link (because I can never find it through PayPal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfactory Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yes you can, I always use this link (because I can never find it through PayPal). This is not USPS.com. You can ship media mail through payal...not through USPS.com. I never ship media mail... Why not? You spend $6+ to ship everything Priority?

THE_James_Champ Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Why not? You spend $6+ to ship everything Priority? Yep, and because I can! Mainly because of the included insurance protection, in case something goes wrong. Media mail can be a real horror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pug__Face Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 #relatednotrelated Is there a way to mail internationally without going to the P.O.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_James_Champ Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 #relatednotrelated Is there a way to mail internationally without going to the P.O.? I think you can use that paypal link above, and choose the country! I know I shipped through ebay/paypal overseas once, and it did the custom slips and everything.

shamrocks Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 #relatednotrelated Is there a way to mail internationally without going to the P.O.? ive used stamps.com in the past, its very convenient because it allows you to print out your customs form without having to fill it out at the PO. however, I still have to go drop the package off, and stamps.com costs >$10 a month just for the service.

drummerboy032 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 #relatednotrelated Is there a way to mail internationally without going to the P.O.? YES International: That PayPal link can do priority mail international or faster USPS.com can do the cheaper First Class Mail Intl option (good for some countries that include tracking (Canada)) Then just go to USPS.com and schedule a free pickup. You must have at least 1 international package OR 1 priory mail/first class package to qualify for free pickup (they won't pickup only ground service/parcel select/media mail) Hope that helps!

ThisIsHans Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I live like two minutes from the post office. Pretty much the main reason I got a PayPal debit card. Get paid, go to the PO and pay with that card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get paid, go to the PO and pay with that card.But just think if you print the postage online it's cheaper with tracking and you could walk to the PO just to drop it off and leave. That's what I do. Save time and $$$.Also has anyone been able to save the direct ship link as their favorites in their browser? I can't save that link as it appears it tries to recall my last session.
