Paypal trackable packets

Are Tracked Packet™ shipping labels going to be available for purchase on PayPal?


 


Yes. You will be able to purchase and print Tracked Packet™ shipping labels from your PayPal account at a special discounted rate for eBay sellers. More details on rates and timing will be announced in early 2013.


 


 


I don't think they have announced a specific date, no doubt it will happen eventually but don't count on it being on a timely basis.

It is entirely up to Paypal even IF they want to inlcude it. Paypal shipping does not include all CP shipping options. Ran into that fork in the river trying to ship an overweight parcel to Volgograd Russia a few weeks ago.


 


Paypal's advice? Go to the post office.

Tracked Packet USA is available at a Canada Post outlet.


 


Fill out a Small Packet form....  This is for customs information only.


 


Do not fill in airmail or surface mail.... just "to" and "from" addresses...Item description, sign and date.


 


The first page of the form is placed on the parcel.


 


An airmail sticker is attached.....  the Postage paid sticker is attached upper right corner... and a tracking label is added.....to the parcel.


 


Have had four sales  to US buyers and using Tracked Packet pricing ... books over 500 grams, and priced at $25 or higher....  Today was the first Tracked Packet label

Not available yet on Paypal & it seems all other options are DOWN . 


Hopefully they are introducing the new services, if not it seems the paypal/cp system is the same as always..

So tracked packet usa is cheaper than expedited usa? It's $13.84 for expedited for a small item the size of a book. How much would tracked packet usa be? It's still not available on payapl.

The Canada Post Find a rate page will give you the counter rate for Tracked Packet. It might be less than that once it is available on Paypal.

today I talked with both EBAY and PAYPAL


 


and this option to purchase shipping through Paypal is not there.. I have to pay out of my pocket the Trackable package, that to my opinion is not worth the hassle.


 


this item will cost me $44.00 as a small trackable package because I will not get the money through paypal for up to 5 days at least and I like to ship next day.  if I do print my shipping label through paypal my only option is Xpress post and it costs $68.00


 


Please if something of this significance is being brought up both Ebay Paypal and Canada post should be up to date and in working order. this is unacceptable.


 


im going back to my $4.50 US and 6.99$ overseas shipping. 16$ and $44 is not worth my time for a DVD/Game size item.

I quite disappointed that eBay offered it as a valid service and now, today, when I go to ship I've forced to ship via Expedited USA. 


 


This  is false advertising eBay - making a seller's job tougher, and less rewarding.
