YOU FREAKIN ROCK! I cant tell you how priceless this info is!

I wished for something like this EVERYTIME I ship items that have sold via Amazon!


Thanks x 1000!!!!!

IE is a BAD tool. Sure, I have tools around the house, some Chinese-made crap that is about as strong as cardboard (read, IE), and some nice Xcel tools that are strong, secure, and always work (i.e. Firefox).

IE is a BAD tool. Sure, I have tools around the house, some Chinese-made crap that is about as strong as cardboard (read, IE), and some nice Xcel tools that are strong, secure, and always work (i.e. Firefox). So whenever I need to ship using PayPal, I have to fire my laptop and boot in WinXP to ship. All my important work is done in Linux.

Let me add a few more CONs:

2. PayPal shipping works only on IE. Enough said. With all the money they're making I'm sure then can hire a competent programmer to make this part of PayPal standards-complient.

3. Their labels are UGLY. Why can't they generate nice, sharp labels like the USPS site does?

Works fine with me on Netscape (versions 7 and now 8)...maybe you should hire a "competent" guide to help you out.

As for Ugly....thats your opinion.

Overall, I agree that having the ability to print 1st class amd Media labels is nice. I'm sure that in the near future USPS will do that too.
That's the stupidest thing I've heard all day. It's a mailing label, who cares what it looks like? IE is a tool, I'm sure you have more than one screwdriver in your house.


Some people may be collecting printed labels... Ya never know. HEH
He's probably the same guy that's at the post office deciding what design stamp he wants as 20 people stand behind him waiting to get on their lives. "Ooooh, flowers, can I see those, too?"

Is this true? I used this paypal shipping to mail some of my rebates already.... I thought the delivery confirmation would be a nice feature.

Throw a piece of 1" foam or some packing peanuts in to make it compliant.

Another CON is that there is no place to put the email of the recipient. Instead, USPS will send two emails to you, and one is supposed to go to the recipient. You have to forward the email to the recipient instead. Besides, USPS email system sometimes is not reliable.

WFM using Firefox 1.0.7.
What strange browser are you trying to use?

Yep, that's an opinion, take it or don't And I don't use Netscape, they've fallen behind Firefox in usability, interface and customization (opinion again). So I will flame any site that supports a particular browser only (the worst browser in the world, too).

anyone know how to get the prefilled fields to populate when filling the paypal shipping form? (using op's original link?)


alert mods    

Excellent! this's also what I'm looking for.

Yep, you cannot stick DC on 1st class or Media item unless it's 3/4" thick. The easiest way to do it is to put a single packing peanut inside the envelope.

You should try the new Version 8. Can use a firefox or an ie engine depending on what you choose for individual sites. I have zero problems with it.

I'm using Firefox 1.5 on a Linux machine (well it doesn't work on a Windows machine either). PayPal say they support IE only, and the fatc that it may work on something else is purely by accident

Agree.

How long has this bug been discovered? I'm just afraid that someday PayPal may sniff into our discussion and fix the bug on this API.
