The listing, DIY - Save on Shipping Costs with Paypal Shipping Detailed Instructions Through Email has ended.

DIGITAL DELIVERY

If you win this auction I will teach you how to ship to ANY US ADDRESS cheaper than at the Post Office using Paypal shipping. The benefits of using Paypal shipping:

Lower shipping costs
Free Tracking
No more waiting in line at the post office

With paypal you will pay only $1.69 for a 1 - 3 ounce package vs just over $2 at the post office, and you get a free tracking number to give to your buyer.

I personally use Paypal shipping for shipping all my Listia items, as well as items sold on other websites.

It took me a while to figure out how to use it to ship to addresses when buyers have not sent you $ through paypal, because it is not very straightforward, but I will give you step by step instructions on how to do this quickly and easily. I have been using it myself for over one year on a daily basis.

All you need is a computer, a Paypal account, a small scale to weigh your packages, and a printer.

Please no rude comments. I know that many people know how to use Paypal's shipping services but I know of many Listia sellers who still buy postage at the post office. I aim to help these sellers for as little as 1 credit. :)

Nice of you to offer here!! I also found this info online (although it took a lot of hard work and trial and error, lol!! But it is WELL worth it. Every once in awhile I run into trouble, and find that if I update Java usually handles it, although have to restart my computer... REALLY saves a lot of $$$ on shipping, I know a bunch of packages I have mailed (ex, stuff to CA or NY) cost well over $10 in the post office, where I am routinely paying $6 - $8 on same weight... And even the lightest items seems like I save atleast 50c to a dollar. Really helps when you are trying to offer FREE shipping here. :)

Thanks! Every little bit you can save counts right? And free tracking on your packages is definitely a plus. :)

Hi there - please tell me that "Paypal Shipping" DOESN'T use Java? :) ............... I refuse to install that horrid piece of software on any of my machines ... it's worse than Adobe Flash when it comes to what it does to the speed and stability of Windows. Anyone who has it that doesn't know what it is, doesn't know why they need it or doesn't need it for any sites they use, shouldn't have it (installed), as it's a good way to get mal-ware and "some really bad bugs" which are difficult to remove without hiring an expert (like me!). Okay, I think that about covers it. :) Great auction, by the way, and I had to make sure I visited to with you a Happy Mother's Day, and a great weekend if you're not a mom. Peace Out.

Lol, ok. I think it does use Java unfortunately, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't think it uses Adobe Flash at all.

(to wish you) - darn typo-o-matic ( et cetera ) ... lol

I'll have that 500 comment badge yet ! :)

Already fan'd and I am watcher #1 ... sorry about the long ramble, but if you knew me, you'd know how much I "dislike" Java. That's a "Don't Pass Go" item with me. :)

oh neat. this might help me out. a ton as I an not rich lol

May 13th, 2013 at 12:45:47 AM PDT by

Lol, it helps me a lot. :) $0.35 savings on each package adds up quick.

May 13th, 2013 at 11:09:49 AM PDT by

Still watching ... and going for the 500 comment badge. :) lol

May 13th, 2013 at 2:15:25 AM PDT by

Lol, good luck with that. :)

do you know if Paypal is cheaper than Stamps.com

May 13th, 2013 at 3:48:03 PM PDT by

It is because you don't have to pay for a subscription. I tried stamps.com but their cheapest subscription is $10 a month and you really don't save much on smaller packages. If you ship a lot of larger packages every day then stamps.com might be worth it for you. They have a one month free trial I think so it doesn't hurt to try it out if you're curious, but I know from my own experience I canceled it after one month.
