Is there a way to make actual shipping costs appear on a shipping label generated on PayPal?

[felicity_1]

Right now when I print a label through eBay, through PayPal and then Canada Post the amount paid doesn't show. I would like my customers - who are mostly from the US - to know I didn't overcharge them.  I would also like to know that, as a buyer, the top-rated seller that received a 25% discount on the shipping costs, passed that on to me.

The 20 to 25% discount on Expedited Shipping is not only for TRS sellers. Any seller can get that discount by printing labels through Paypal.

Other Canada Post labels printed through PP get a 5% or so discount.

Sellers who use postage stamps may be getting similar discounts by buying stamps from stamp dealers.

Some sellers use the Expedited discount instead of a Handling charge. Bubblewrap ain't free.

Hi...

There should be, sorry i can not give on how but do a little bit search before printing.

Sorry forgot to add...maybe look in the "edit" part.

I don't believe that there is any way for the actual postage paid can be made to appear on the shipping label printed through PayPal shipping.

The "actual postage" that would show up would be less than the amount you paid to Canada Post.

You are paying a fuel surcharge and GST on the postage. And eBay allows for a "handling" charge to cover the costs of packaging.

My poly envelopes for my dress patterns cost just under a dime apiece, for example. You may need boxes, kraft paper, tape, labels, coroplast stiffeners, CD mailers, etc.

The only customers who would care about a reasonable shipping cost, are the ones who would neg you for charging a nickel over the face value the stamps.
