Can you use Paypal to print postage on a trade?

[mavsfan]

I could have sworn I have seen a thread on this BUT don't ever try to use the search feature with paypal lol, the old finding a needle in a haystack is what comes to mind.

I did a trade with a guy and no money changed hands, I don't really have time to go to the post office tomorrow but I want to get his stuff out. Can I somehow create a shipping label using paypal even though he didn't pay me anything? TIA

I think there needs to be a monetary transaction in order to use Paypal to ship with USPS. I may be wrong, but I've never seen it done straight up through trading only.

Yes use multi order shipping on the right hand side.

The easiest way I know how with trades is send a penny payment then you both would have each others addys and can print and mail if not you have to use the multi ship method on paypal same thing just not as fast.

You can't without receiving payment from the other trader, but you might be able to use paypal on USPS website to print a label. I haven't checked out the payment methods, but it might be on there. If not, you will have to use a credit card or go to the post office.

I thought they did away with that? It's been a while since I have tried going that route, but I remember people posting a few years ago that they got rid of it.

Nope its still there. Its on the right hand side on the page showing your balance and recent transactions.

Yup. And you can add all the shipping information manually.

Not backed by PP's "guarantees" but that makes sense since the trade does not involve exchanging of monies.
