Best way to ship from home?

[dougscats]

Thanks for all the replies.
I feel like a moron, but I'm still having problems.

First I went to the usps site, Click-N-Ship.
It appears that this service only applies to Priority Mail. Is that correct?
When I try to print a label for first class, which is how I want to send it, I just reach a dead end.
Is it possible to get labels printed and pay for first class shipping from home via usps?

Second, I went to paypal.
I just received money ppff for a card I sold to a forum member.
Following paypal instructions, I went to "Activity"; then I try to click on the transaction [which was simply a payment, no item mentioned], and it says,
We couldn't find any transactions matching your filters.

What am I doing wrong/What do I need to do?

Sorry for my ineptitude; thanks for any additional help.

Log in to your account in paypal

Select the "Summary" Tab to go to your Summary Page

Half way down on the Right Side of the Page - you should see Manage MultiOrder Shipping

Click that and follow instructions on purchasing postage and printing label

USPS Click and Ship will only do "expensive" mail

Thanks much, Stefan and Lonnie.

Stefan, I used your link and bingo! It's done!
Halleluleah!

Yep- you'll typically only see a "ship' option on your transaction if it was paid for using PP Goods. If it was paid via Friends/Family you just need to use the MultiOrder shipping route.

If you have parcels under 13 oz.and don't need a scan you can also find a local blue collection box in your neighborhood and drop them in there if you don't want to leave them for your carrier or don't want to visit po assuming you have paid postage . Use PayPal to ship and print labels
