Answer from Shippo re billing method.

[vintagenorth]

Not really happy about this info that I received in an email from Shippo: "In terms of the billing of your PayPal account that will happen once a week or once you exceed $100 in label purchases, which ever comes first. Please let me know if you have additional questions or need assistance with anything else Shippo." I much preferred the way PayPal did it, having the money removed from my account when the label is bought.

totally agree  - that would be a nightmare trying to keep track of a PayPal balance. I have refused to use Shippo, so although I am paying a higher rate(not as big a discount as was from the former eBay/PayPal arrangement and now the new eBay/Shippo arrangement) by using my Canada Post Solutions for Small Business account integrated with PayPal, I have the satisfaction of getting a little discount, a no hassle easier shipping form and the label costs are removed from PayPal account at time label is purchased.

I agree with both of you. I prefer to see the payment come out of my PayPal account right away.

Although I don't have plans to list anything in the near future, I hope all of these issues that everyone has brought up get ironed out soon. Depending on how things are when I do end up listing, I may just stick with PayPal like mrdutch1001 is. We'll see how things go.

There are lots of alternatives.

I know, but if I need to ship anything larger than OS Lettermail (which doesn't happen often) I prefer to create my own label online.

You have your preference, I have mine.
