Hello,
Thanks for the information. I have just ordered some stuff from the paypal shipping center and this would not have been possible without your help.

I really appreciate that you've taken the time to write this. I am a blank slate when it comes to selling t-shirts online. I am currently in the process of starting my own venture. Also , I figured it would be a good idea to write a blog detailing the whole process.
If you have the time please drop by and comment on where I might be going wrong or add just some helpful tips.

You can use regular paper to print your label on pay pal, cut it to put on package, then use spray adhesive on the back of your label to stick to your package. I would also use a couple of strips of tape just to make sure its secure.

7.1 does not round up to 8. If you are doing this, you are wasting money every time.

And if you haven't read - when your package is less than 2lbs, they won't re-weigh it.

Simple step is just use common sense. If your package is 13.1oz or 14 oz, I wouldn't get all bent out of shape that your .1 or 1 oz over the First Class limit. The post office doesn't care to weigh and measure pre-labeled mail.

If you aren't ridiculous, you don't have to be that accurate. With Priority, there is much less accuracy. 1lb or 1.5lb is the same value, so you're better off giving it a higher number than a lower.

I’ve been having problems on how to enter shipping info onto paypal..
Not so much entering it in but lets say im shipping a shirt to new york and a shirt to arizona should I just charge a flat rate for one shirt or should I enter in individually of how much something is going to cost to a certain area..?

Have you figured out a sticker paper that can be used for the USPS labels to adhere to the package? The cutting, pasting, taping takes a while nor do I want to go through the cost associated with a label printer. Thoughts on label options?

www.storenvy.com has great prices and the print quality is amazing. I used them for SHRED and couldn't be happier. Tell them Jon Kruse sent you and they will give you 25 cents off each shirt.

What professional company do you use to print the designs on your tees and what’s a reasonable price for such a company to charge?

I use endicia, it costs @ $15 a month. I haven’t calculated in awhile but I think it saves me at least $80 a month over the cost of the service. The main reason is, I send everything delivery confirmation. With endicia, you get a sizeable discount, 35 to 50 cents per order. You also get discounts on international; I save 50 cents to canada and I think a dollar going anywhere else. The other thing I like is I can automatically email the customer with fields already filled in, date of shipping, tracking number etc, it’s all automated. Lastly, I can export all the customer shipping information into a database.
