I have linked my pirate ship account to my ebay account. What do I do to use pirate shipping for a listing?
I made a test listing, went to the shipping part and I just saw the standard ebay list of shipping options.
1. If I pick one of those for shipping in a listing, will the shipping label show up in pirate shipping when sold? Assuming it is a service PS uses.
2. Will the label I create and use in PS be linked to ebay for ebay to track?
3. More specifically, will the details such as: I used signature required; show up so that ebay requirement is met. I am thinking about some of the seller assurances, to show I followed ebay policy.
4. Last. For some items I likely am happy with ebay shipping, can I still print and use their label?
I mainly want to use PS for higher shipping insurance coverage. I have had one ups package lost that was shipped to me and two usps advantage packages in limbo that I shipped. So while insurance may not work well in the end, it does give some peace of mind.
Thanks

Pirate ship is used when you log into your pirate ship account to purchase and print shipping labels for items you sold instead of purchasing them on eBay. There won't be anything showing in any of your listings, your sold listings will show in your pirate ship account.
Tracking numbers should show in your eBay account.
You can use either pirate shop or eBay.....both have the same prices.

Pirateship is not an actual shipping company they are just a vendor of shipping labels from USPS, UPS etc.
If you have your Pirateship account set up to download your orders from eBay then when you print a label on Pirateship they should be uploading the tracking information to eBay.
When you are setting up the shipping for an eBay listing you would be using the actual shipping company and service that you will be using (USPS or UPS or ???). Where you purchase the labels is irrelevant to eBay, or your buyer.
