Shipping packages via your PayPal account

Shipping packages through PayPal is cheaper, easier, and faster than waiting in line at the post office. It works perfectly and bills through your paypal account. You can select it to take the payment from your PayPal balance or filed credit card. After filling in the shipping information, PayPal sends the generated shipping label to your printer, which you can print onto plain printer paper (or sticky label paper if you want).

The simple steps:

  1. Log into PayPal.
  2. Fill out your shipping information and confirm the information is correct.
  3. Print your label and tape it to your package.
  4. Drop off your package at a USPS box. You're done!

  • The interface is simple and straightforward.
  • There's no need for sticky labels- plain paper works fine.
  • Delivery Confirmation is only $.13 (and is required).

The cheapest way to ship...

[edit]

ONE game via First Class Mail

If you need to ship ONE game using a single bubble mailer (one which a standard sized DVD case fits inside), this is likely the cheapest method to ship anywhere in the United States. The final cost is only $2.50, which includes shipping and delivery confirmation (you have to buy the bubble mailer). Follow these steps ONLY if you are shipping a single game in a bubble mailer.

  • Follow the steps above to generate your label, but under "Shipment Information", enter the following information:
    1. Service Type: [First Class Mail Parcel (2-5 days)]
    2. Package Size: [Package/Thick envelope]
    3. Weight: 0 lbs., 8 oz.
  • If you ship anywhere within the United States, your total cost will be $2.50.
