Hi,

I've been using paypal shipping for a while for domestic service - and love it. Saves me time, and money, and free tracking. I think that you can do international shipping with paypal but when I log on it only shows me options for domestic. I think that if you have it linked to ebay you can do international trading (which I don't have)? If there is a post about this somewhere I would love a link!

Cheers,
Tiffany

I also use PayPal for domestic, but find it significantly easier to use USPS online for International.

If someone knows a secret to International on PayPal I'd be interested as well!
 
You can't use PayPal for international unless you want to pay for priority shipping international. That's the only option PayPal provides (which is $20-40 depending on weight).

USPS.com for international is the way to go.
 
I use Stamps.com for international shipping. It lets me do all the different shipping rates for international

I'm making my first international trades and I went to usps, I couldn't find any option lower than 20$. I'm clearly missing it.
 
there's several little arrows that make more options appear. also make sure you have the right weight and package selected. if it's only a few ounces or only 1-2 pins select the small package and it's about 2ounces a pin unless they're bigger (an ounce for each layer of pin)

Just a little heads up :) When you fill in a customs form for your international trade you always have to select the gift option and ask the trader/buyer if they want the true value of the pin(s) on the customs form or lower to avoid any custom fees (if it's more then $20 they have to pay custom fees but I always ask to put a lower value on of a maximum of $20 to avoid those fees)

I logged on to Paypal yesterday to ship a few packages & the option to ship was nowhere to be found. I finally was able to ship after creating a business account...which I don't want. Anyone else having problems with this?

There's an option on the right above the pricing that says show more options (or something similar). It should be $8-12 depending on the size and country it is going to. Like someone else said, definitely always check gift.

With the new home page and crap like that? The option for "multi order shipping" is now on the left.
