If this is in the wrong forum I apologize- but it is directly trade related. But feel free to move it if needed.

Im sort of scrambling- my bank has frozen my debit card/account because they think there was some ID theft involved(im waiting on the records to see for myself).

I have 3 trades/sales that need to go out- were supposed to go out 3 days ago actually but I havent been able to pay for the shipping.

So does anyone know if theres a way to use paypal funds to pay shipping? If there is please let me know, I want to get these minis out as soon as I can.

And for the three guys waiting, I'll send you a PM.

Does frozen mean completely frozen as in you cant go down to the bank and talk to a bank teller and withdraw money? Sorry not sure as i have never had that happen to me so dont know.
If you cant do that i know you can buy and print off postage from your house through usps.com. What i dont know though is if you can use paypal to do so. Sorry probably not much help but i tried to give you some ideas as to what to do.

You can pay for shipping through paypal or through usps.com. It's an option ... go to the transaction where they paid you and it should have something about printing a shipping label that will get you there.

the us postal service as well as UPS take paypal. when you pay with paypal through the usps.com, you actually get a small discount on the shipping price usually. just make sure you have an accurate scale as you enter in the weight yourself. i'd assume (never had it happen to me as i usually bring my packages to the post office for a free weigh before putting up a sale thread or auction) that they just bring it back to you instead of shipping if you underweigh the package. hope that helps.

warboss beat me to it.

you could also ask the parties involved to send you $1 through paypal as goods and it gives you the option to ship using the paypal interface. USPS interface can get confusing.

Here is a handy link to ship via paypal with out having a transaction already in place.
I use it all the time when I need to ship extra stuff and don't feel like dealing with the usps site.

Make sure to log into your own paypal account first then go to this link.

Ya, the usps site is an enormous pain in the posterior.

Ironically- it was paypal that triggered the bank problem in the first place!

Everyones packages went out, a few days late but in good order.

Thanks for all the suggestions
