Paypal shipping is hit or miss

[theclassof1984]

Hi

I have been trying to use paypal's shipping for a larger international package and constantly get this annoying message that "The Shipment Option you have chosen is invalid. Please verify the amount you have entered."

The option I chose was valid and I can easily do the same option on Can Post website without problems. I want to use PP as they have a substantial discount, but using their discussion board is about as useless as teets on a bull. No one ever answers them.

Anyone ever have this problem and no how to solve it?

Please verify the amount you have entered.

That makes no sense in relation to the shipment option. Try different L W H, maybe jiggle with the weight.

For eg, min width on a parcel is 3.5". 9cm is bigger than 3.5", but gets rejected. I have to use 10cm.

For Expedited I have to put in larger dimensions than my parcel actually is, to get the label to generate. I can then trim off the excess paper and the label fits just fine.

I was taught by CP employees, that if the system won't accept the numbers, do not change the parcel, just change the numbers. PayPal shipping is the same, change the numbers.

Where is the item going...what postal service are you using and what are the dimensions and weight of the package?
