timber63401 · 12-28-2025, 10:07 PM

Anyone else ever have trouble creating and printing labels off there site? Seems to be super slow or lock up all the time when you try to pay. Sometimes it dont take at all and I have to redo the labels from the beginning.

I use my PayPal account to create shipping labels, that I can print at home

Create an account with Pirate Ship. Easy to use and discounted rates similar to what eBay offers for order shipment.

I use pirate ship but the prices are usually the same as shipping via eBay. I also sell on FB and sportlots so that is where pirate ship comes into play.

Never used the USPS site for shipping labels....do they offer discounts? For eBay sales I currently use the eBay shipping labels, for off eBay sales I use Pirate Ship.

Yep, this is what I've been doing for years too. Invest in a small Zebra printer and it'll last for quite a while.

This is the way. PirateShip (for UPS/USPS) or FedEx accounts are all that’s needed if selling outside of eBay.

Pirate Ship and eBay have the same prices for USPS. They are cheaper than the USPS site.

Thanks for the info everyone. Appreciate it.

I use the USPS Click N ship website for all of my non-eBay sales. I find it to be quick and easy, and I pay for my labels from my PayPal account. It works well with my Rollo label printer. The discounts on the site are equal to the discounts that I receive with eBay labels.

Yes. What I use for shipping to COMC, PSA, or someone's Christmas gift. Substantial discount from the counter rate.

The discount through Pirateship and through PayPal’s direct shipping service are usually about 40% off counter price. $2.90-$3.10 PER tracked mailer. Not sure why anyone keeps paying retail for this really.

PayPal has worked well for shipping for me and hopefully for anyone else that already has a PayPal account. Even if you aren't shipping an item that was paid for by PayPal, just use the "Create New Quick Label" feature on the shipping page and enter the address. Don't think there's any reason for existing PayPal users to sign up for PirateShip unless they're substantially cheaper.
