I can no longer print invoices or packing slips for my ebay sales, as Ebay has now disabled many fuctions of the Selling Manager. Using other selling tools, I am redirected to shippo.
Problem is that the using shippo, the minimum fee for shipping something within Canada is over $10 or $7 for the USA.
Most items I sell are less than $5 and I ship 90% of my items letter mail. I have been charging less than $3.00 shipping for 95% of my sales
Calls to Ebay Support and Customer Service stated they have no solutions except take a Screen Capture of the "order" and print it. (A Hack and unprofessional approach to printing business invoices) or enter everything manually from scratch in a 3rd party tool or site. Plus if too many items are on the order, the printout becomes illegible due to miscroscopic print.
After over 20 years on Ebay, I am now essentially told, I do not matter anymore and that I viewed as obsolete.
I sell mostly philatelic materials and I still use postage stamps for postage, except when I mail larger packages (which is only 5% of my sales).
I am physically disabled and Ebay support had no problem, repeatedly suggesting I walk to the post office even after I told them that I am confined to a wheelchair.
I think the effort to coerce clients to use shippo for all packing slips and sales at the exclusion of any other methods is anti-competive.
Does anyone has a solution other than an unprofessional looking "screen capture" to print an invoice or packing slip for an Ebay sale.

There are 99 problems with Shippo! but that ain't one.
There is no minimum price for a label.
Are you confusing the (discounted )price of the label with the postal rate?

Me too.
No reason for that to change.
Actually, since I buy in Canadian, use discounted postage stamps and sell in USD, I offer Free Shipping on most of my LetterPost/LightPacket shipments.

I noticed when printing a SnapShip (Canada Post) label the other day that they offer home pickup.
I did not need it, and do not know if there is a charge.
Worth looking into though.

We still have a choice.
Shippo! is still wonky.
Snapship is often the best price this month, but that will change August first.
Paypal remains in the shipping label business, but soon will not offer any discounts to eBay customers.
There are several active discussions about shipping , including label problems, acceptance problems, and printing problems.
