How do I change the funding source for printing labels?

[sin-n-dex]

On another thread someone told me to scroll to the bottom where I print the label and it will give me the option to pay from pending funds or other sources.

I am told at this spot it will take money from my Paypal Account to pay for the label (which I don't want now that I'm on MP).

I tried cancelling my link with eBay shipping from my Paypal account, but eBay still wants to bill paypal for my label and are not giving me any other choices.

I went into payments and selected my visa card for selling costs (if there are no pending funds) and it still tells me my labels are being funded from Paypal?

How do I fix this? I tried the online help with is totally useless in almost everything I search for, except the link to the BBL when I need to add someone.

I'm going to try asking on the weekly chat when I finish work tomorrow and find out if the currency is the issue.

Pardon a dumb question, but are you logged in to ebay.com or ebay.ca? Maybe the Shipping form is different for sellers in Canadia. 😉

eBay.com. If I go to eBay.ca the USPS shipping isn't what shows, but a link to something called Shippo for Canada Post labels.

My store is also on eBay.com, but when they gave me a choice of currency for the remittance I opted to have the same currency as my bank to avoid trouble (they said we can't change it after we choose).

How long after payment did you wait to print the shipping label?

If the funds were released and set to hit your bank, they may not be pending anymore.

They just became available today, so it's showing as X dollars available with the next pay out on June 29. There was no payout today because the funds were not available earlier today.

Anyway it seems like it's a setting and it will go to your back up funding if there are no pending funds. I think I'm going to go with the fact that it's because my account payouts are in Canadian dollars and the USPS labels are in US funds. I could have kept everything in US funds but it would have caused me problems with my bank.

The solution might be to re-establish my Paypal link with eBay Shipping and load funds in my Paypal account to be used for shipping. Alternatively I can print shipping labels with Chit Chats Express or Stamps.com.

If they were able to just bill my Visa card for every single label that would work too. I need to know how much it is in CAD now anyways because my bookkeeping is going to match eBay's record keeping. Previously everything was in USD except when I withdrew funds from Paypal or paid the courier handling charges.

OK so I guess my question is...even if you go to ship the item immediately after payment, the option is not there?

Just as an fyi in case you ever need it.. you can now print ebay labels on .ca for Canada Post.  It works fine  though there are still a couple of minor bugs.

Thanks. I don't ship with Canada Post much (I use Chit Chat's to get discounted Canadian shipping). Most of what goes with Canada Post are things like stamps which go without tracking.

The option has never been there any time I checked since joining MP.

Don't stress about helping with this one... I asked a question to the Weekly Chat. I'm becoming convinced it's because my pending funds are all in Canadian dollars that it won't allow me to convert them back into US to pay for labels.

I should be able to sort this out with Paypal on Friday when I do my shipping. I think I just need to set Paypal up to take money from my Visa card so it doesn't touch my pending funds.

Problem solved - Tyler at eBay said it's because my pending funds are in Canadian dollars.
