We had a hard time trying to ship items that were paid with credit card, without having to take them to the post office to ship them.
I found a link you can ship anything even if not paid through Paypal on paypal. Go to paypal.com/shiplabel/create.

Thanks for the heads up!

I just had to spend $10.00

on the USPS site because they would only ship Priority with no option for First Class even though its size and weight qualified.

If you invoice for the item and payment is received you should be able to print a first class shipping label under 16 oz.
Not sure if that helps....

Thanks Scott, I was aware of that feature in PayPal. My recent USPS example was for an item I wanted to send a friend, no money exchanged. I was surprised that I couldn't ship First Class on the USPS site, only Priority which has gone up $$$ considerably in recent years.
I'll definitely try that link that rflem59801 posted the next time I need to ship First Class to my friends and kids. I hope it works!

Whenever I have to mail anything, a small package that qualify's for First Class Postage, I use Paypal Manage Multi-Order Shipping. It's easy to create a First Class label even if there is no money transaction from paypal or ebay. No invoice necessary. I always pay from my paypal balance.

I knew there was a way to do this, but couldn't find it recently when I was trying to ship something first class, but didn't have an "order" that was paid through paypal. Now I know the ticket is getting to the
multi order shipping tab. Thanks much! Barry, you certainly are "1fartsmella"!

We have been using this for years, it works great.
