Paying for Shipping With Checking/Debit/Credit Card

First let me say I'm not a fan of the delay in getting payments for managed payments. I'm a small time reseller who is trying to grow. Right now most of my funds are going back into inventory.

But my main gripe here is that I can't find any way to pay for shipping costs from my business checking/debit card. Only thing I find is saying I have to use my PayPal account. My PayPal account is set up for my personal use. Which was fine before because it came right out of my PayPal.

Well since eBay is forcing us to use managed payments I don't keep any money in my PayPal. They either need to fix this by letting us pay for shipping a different way or allow us to use PayPal to manage our payments. I shouldn't have to keep a "zero" balance in my PayPal to be able to take a shipping cost payment from my account. I'm going to have to set up a second PayPal to deal with this nonsense.

Get this option fixed, if you're forcing us to use managed payments (which is fine and I'll deal with it), you need to give us the option to pay from the account we actually send the money to.

When you print your shipping label, look at the bottom left, which is where you change it from PayPal to pending funds.

Another solution is to use a different shipping labels provider.

I use pirateship.com They import your orders from ebay and post back the tracking numbers. You can also purchase insurance for both domestic and int'l orders (read the exclusions). You can ask them to sign you up for their simple international rate and you get 20%+ cheaper prices than ebay on lighter parcels (up to 4 lbs). Their customer service is outstanding, email replies within 24 hours and a real chat. You can easily reprint your labels if needed and when you are finished you can generate the SCAN form (and easily reprint it if needed). You can use you CC to pay for the labels, earning extra % on your CC purchases.

I will check that out. If that's the case I could have avoided my complaining. Hope that works out, would make it a lot easier.
