Why does paypal only have automatic presets for Medium-Flat Rate boxes?  Why not Small- or Large-Flate Rate boxes?  How does one make the paypal system accept the Small- or Large- usps flat rate boxes?

Thanks!  I assumed there would be no problem with the shipping being the same. I dont think I'd try it for  International shipping though.

the rate is the same for both the flat rate envelope and small box, and I have shipped out over a dozen using the flat rate envelope shipping label for the small box, and have had ZERO problems with the post office.

I had to send a hat that fit perfectly in a large flat rate box.   Since I could use only MEDIUM flat rate box, I made the label and took it to the Post Office to pay the remainder due.  I was baffled about this too.

On 1/4/10 USPS rates will change. The  Flat Rate envelope and Small Flat Rate box will no longer share the same price

PAYPAL......       Please fix the large and small Flat Rate Boxes.    Why hasn't anybody addressed this yet?    Look at all the posts.      I bet USPS wouldn't like it if they knew all the people that clicked UPS because of this oversight.

 

Please fix it!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately the option is NOT there so there's not much anyone can do you.   You can go outside of the box and go directly to USPS for the service you need as you are not forced to using the the same service within your PayPal Account.
