eBay announced last week that they would be moving the entire shipping process for eBay items within eBay. Currently, when a sale is made on eBay, sellers are transferred to PayPal to create their prepaid shipping label. What will this mean for people who use PayPal to create shipping labels for non-eBay items?
Relax, It's Gonna Be Okay
I recently contacted my old friend Jason Miner, host of PayPal Radio and asked him this question. I used to teach eBay University with Jason, he's a great guy and reliable source. In answer to my question, he said:
All functionality at PayPal in terms of shipping remains. There will be an ability to continue to pay for labels through your PayPal account for non-eBay packages, and multi-order shipping will still be available at PayPal, too.
That was a relief. I regularly use PayPal for shipping eBay and non-eBay items, along with miscellaneous items. Many small sellers on Amazon, Bonanzle, eCrater, etsy.com and other venues, use PayPal lables to ship.
In case you can't find the link to create a shipping label outside the eBay process, you can get the link to create non-eBay labels here.

Thanks for looking into this, Steve. It was really my main concern out of the recent announcements, definitely a relief to hear that this service will still be available.
Thanks, Cliff
