You can use any shipping service you want, in the 22 years I've been selling on eBay I've used eBay or PayPal shipping perhaps 10 times (in the very early days).
There are plenty of options out there to purchase shipping labels and I don't understand what the connection is with Managed Payments. I have selling accounts still with PayPal and other accounts in Managed Payments, it makes no difference in terms of who I use for shipping.
In regards to the International shipping which should be charged at the domestic rate for fee calculation......
When I first when into MP this was the second thing I tried to audit. The first was the general fee calculations which had me quite confused initially. Keep in mind this was in September 2020, the Payments Tab has improved a lot since then making it much easier to confirm the numbers.
At first I thought that calculation were not based on domestic shipping, I think this is because my US & Canadian shipping rates are mostly identical, Other overseas are more limited in number but after a bit I confirmed that Overseas sales were using domestic shipping rates as the fee base (but not the International service fee which is based on the total paid). It took me some time to confirm the fee calculation.
Here is an example....
Domestic shipping $10, International $20
Overseas Buyer purchases 1 item, my fvf is calculated on $10
For multiple item purchases I add $5 per item International, $2 domestic) (done free form, I do not have combined shipping rules in place)
For a purchase of two items
Domestic buyer is charged $12 and fees are calculated on this amount
International buyer is charged $25 and fees are calculated on $20 (2 x the domestic rate)
For a purchase of three items
Domestic buyer is charged $14 and fees are calculated on this amount
International buyer is charged $30 and fees are calculated on 3 times the domestic rate which is also $30 so the fees are identical.
For a purchase of 4 items
Domestic buyer is charged $16 and fees are calculated on this amount
International buyer is charged $35 and fees are charged on that amount because the domestic rate of 4 @ $10 is actually higher than what the International buyer actually paid.
It's possible that if I had actual combined shipping policies/rates in effect I might have slightly lower fees on orders of a large quantity of items but I've never been able to make the combined shipping rules actually work and prefer the old school way of having buyer Request a Total and then provide them with the correct shipping based on their specific location and other factors. The combined rules are just not flexible enough for me partially at least because of the wide variation in my costs depending on the combination of the specific items purchased AND the specific destination country.
