Sparky Usually I find Paypal and PirateShip to be about the same

From the prices Jelopster has posted for me, PirateShip shows lower than what I've been paying with Shipstation/PP. Not so much that I find I need to change things though. Only with heavier items perhaps. Which I'll be doing in a week or so. 😉

      Jelopster Thank you, much appreciated!! 👍
      Not a lot of diff there on the light/small boxes. Heavier/bigger is a different story though.

        Every time I've ever checked pirateship is exact same as shipstation. I use pirateship to get a quote as it's easier to access for that reason vs. Having to sign into PP and navigate the site.

          ode How do you get into PirateShip? When I checked this morning, they wanted a sign up for an account. So if you have an account, it is always open to the internet world? How do you pay for the shipping with them?

          Inquiring minds and all that.

              I like that you can link EBay to Pirate Ship. If you sell an item you can just import the address.

              sdandrea1 I use a credit card and am happy since I disputed a charge via UPS and the credit card was first to fix, UPS & PirateShip eventually came around to my view.

                Par4QC no account, have never used them....but on there main page you can get a free quote by entering zip, box dimensions and weight! Helps me with price.and to make sure I'm not over dim weight. I'll keep using PP/shipstation as it's how I get paid and easy to access the system right from the payment. The times where I'm not or doing a trade you can still use it to print a label as long as you have sufficient funds to cover the label🙃. It is a bit tedious to poke around the site to find shipstation in the latter scenario!

                    pirateship will import your paypal orders (or any other major platform orders) and you can pay the funds with your paypal balance.

                    this stuff isn't rocket science. it's 2023. Every major ecommerce platform and the affiliated 3rd party service tools are at least mostly integrated if not completely integrated. It isn't 2003. You don't need to run your own website , know java or php, or write hack bandaids to put content into iframes to make things work.
