Creating shipping label via PayPal - need advice

[stantonwalsh]

Hey all,

When creating a shipping label via PayPal, what shipping information do you enter for "Package Type" for a fairly standard sized Yazoo shipping tube, 3" x 26"?

For USPS Priority Mail, you can enter: small/med/large flat rate box or flat rate/padded envelope/package. For USPS First Class you can weigh and do first class or package/thick envelope...and it looks like you need to click "Irregular Package." Or is there some other option I'm missing?

Anyone with more experience able to lend a hand? Searched the forums (and the google) for help but didn't find the answer I was looking for, though I'm certain someone must have raised it before. I've amassed a respectably sized collection over the years, now just starting to sell a few things, so could use some help.

Cheers.

I don't do tubes with paypal. I just use usps site and upload the tracking. I don't believe there is a proper way to generate a label for a tube via paypal.

Priority Mail... "package" (first class package only goes up to 13 oz I believe)... put in the dimensons 26 x 3 x 3 and click irregular.

Usually I put weight at 3lbs for most tubes.

If using yazoo 4x30 tubes, it'll always fall in the 2-3lb bracket. 3lb is the same price as 2lb 1oz. Anything smaller will almost always be in 1-2

Yup anything from 12 x 24's up to 18 x 24's in a 24" X 3" yazoo are exactly 16 oz.

Scale is more important for international shipping but most of ya'll are xenophobes.

Duh. All the poors are in 'murica.

This and also since so many people wont ship across seas, you get more people willing to actually pay the asking price.

[Codeblue]

Just kidding. All foreigners are dirty and have diseases. Def don't ship there.

You don't have "Package/Thick Envelope" as an option?

1lb, 26" x 3" x 3", nothing irregular about that.
