Paypal shipping was the only option with eBay until I believe last year when they introduced eBay Shipping Label. When introduced, it would only handle USPS Priority, Parcel, Media and First Class Mail parcel, same as Paypal, same rates. FYI Paypal is owned by eBay or is a majority owner. For UPS you had to use Paypal as well. Just some months ago, eBay started to offer First Class Mail International shipping labels but with a warning that seller protection is not available with that shipping option. If you are a Top Rated Seller/Power Seller, you also get an additional shipping discount on USPS Priority Mail and Express Mail service. That is the Commercial Plus rates set for high volume shippers, but offered to TRS as a bonus. This option is not available through the Paypal shipping. Only one problem with eBay Shipping Label is the support. Try getting them to correct the length of the Name field in the label template and it is taking forever. It is just like the Paypal label template, but it cuts off the "Name" in the "From" address fields. It just started doing this a little over a month ago and they still have not done a fix. I bet if the "e" on eBay was cut off, that would be fixed right away! I've been completing the "FROM" name field by pen and it is getting old, so I go over to Paypal to use their shipping label except when shipping USPS Priority as I get the Commercial Plus shipping rates.
