Not sure through paypal shipping.
But you can put the label back in the printer.

Thanks! I just figured out that I had to tell it not to print instructions with each label, so that the second label stays blank.

Do you know the answer to my other question?

Is there a way to set the senders name? When editing an order I see I can choose the address, but I don't see where I can put in the name of the sender.

It uses the name that the paypal account is under, but I want to use a business name.

I have even tried to edit my name while sending a package, but could not edit it.
Seems like the info listed on your paypal account is what's used, see if you can add another address onto your account as that will give you maybe another address to ship from? But don't know if you can even add a 2nd address.
If you figure it out please keep me posted, I wanted to know that as well.

The Ships From Addresses are pre-loaded with addresses from your main account settings. You basically want to use your client's address as the Ships From Address and yours as the Ships To address, right? Then you'd have to add client's address into your PayPal account Profile.

To change your Ship From address for labels created using PayPal MultiOrder Shipping, follow these steps:

Go to the PayPal website and log in to your account.
Click the "PayPal MultiOrder Shipping" link on the Account Overview page. The MultiOrder Shipping page opens in a new window.
Click "Edit" in the top toolbar and a drop-down menu appears.
Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
Click "Ship From Information."
Select the correct Ship From address.
Check the box "Send email notification to recipient" if you would like to let the recipient know the Ship From address has changed.
Click "Apply."

found one last way to change the name to the business name, you would have to upgrade to a business accnt and seems you have the option to change the shipping address each time.
Can't verify that it works but this is what I seem to have seen what others have done.
(if it does work, definitely worth it to make another account and use for the business needs when printing labels and having the ease of changing the names.

Seems to be a common problem, with a simple google search all these answers came up.
Feel free to the search yourself.

So the address is good, it's just the business name that needs to be changed. I was planning on making a new paypal account for it for next time. I'll check out business accounts too - thanks!

Do you know if there are any restrictions regarding having multiple business accounts for multiple businesses?

If i'm sending a $500 package with UPS, and I insure it for $500, why should I bother to pay another $5 or so for signature required?

Am I not covered anyhow with the insurance?

Thanks!

Yes, no need to pay the $5 for signature required, with insurance you are covered. I have a UPS account , and signature required is free even without insurance.

Shipped 2 packages worth $900 each, UPS lost them both.

They are refusing to pay more than $100 each I did not purchase insurance on them.

Any recourse?

Unfortunately nothing you can do if you did not purchase insurance, $100 is their max compensation,I had a close monetary loss to yours although I did purchase insurance, it was for a gold coin ,and i never bothered to check what is not covered under their insurance, i found out precious metals were not covered. You might still get lucky and they'll find your boxes, both FEDEX and UPS lost shipments for my business during the years and they found most of them days later, good luck.

Wow, thats crazy.

I'm sorry for your loss.

These were lost about 2 months ago...

When they found yours, it was that much later?

Thank you. The ones found were within a week max, I learned that when it is over a week it is usually bad news.

Uh oh...

We are a little past a week here:(

Yehuda25 · « **Reply #395 on:** January 09, 2018, 11:32:10 PM »

So, on that past UPS claim had to eat it:(

UPS after fighting and fighting only paid out $100 per package.. fun..

now, fast forward a few months, and obviously I ship nothing not full insured.

Shipped 2 packages fully insured each for 15k. About 2k per package came damaged, 2k lost.

Packages came to receiver looking like they had been somewhat destroyed.

How big of a battle is this going to be?

I cant figure out how this guy does it.

There is a guy on Fiverr ( the site where you can get digital services for $5..I have used it since it started and its amazing, as long as you know who to use and how to use it, it could save you a ton in various business costs.)

Anyhow there is a guy that sells USPS Priority labels. https://www.fiverr.com/hooplah123/provide-a-usps-priority-5lb-shipping-label?context&context_referrer=search_gigs&context_type=auto&pckg_id=1&pos=2&ref_ctx_id=e8f3fde8-785c-4fd0-b479-4b9b8027601d&funnel=38ce495d-d800-4693-80cd-3f19b521510e

For what I ship it's to costly for the prepaid (if it fits it ships) we use our own packaging and it is 4lbs and is dependent on distance, so depending on where shipped it can be $12-$20.

Somehow this guy generated a label that when I brought to the post office coded as a full $27ish priority. The label is commercial rate and the guy said when I asked how he is able to offer this, he says it is a commercial account.

No commercial rates (even the actual commercial rates that one gets when shipping 50k+ packages) seem to be able to offer this.

How do you think the guy does this? Because it seems fishy (I like to do everything clean and legit) I have not used him since.

Seems like he stopped with the $5 labels moved on to bigger labels.

Shipped a package i sold on Ebay and the wrong priority mail label printed. Sent it out and it was returned to me. Difference between first label and second label was $.70 any way I can get a refund? One was for an envelope one was for a package.

Dispute the first shipping charge or difference on PayPal with an explanation and you should be fine.

Ah forgot paypal angle. Thanks.
