It appears to be 6000 now. I'm not a high-volume shipper, but it's available to me.

ebaystealth1974 · #24 04-19-2019

I've also seen the option for 7500 fanfold.

You lucky mofo!

phaz0rz · #26 04-19-2019

Don't get used to it, lol.

Like I said, it showed up for me once but only once. Maybe it triggers a review of your account after they let you order one case. I unno.

ebaystealth1974 · #27 04-19-2019

I'm surprised, because I've literally ordered from them ONCE! lol

ebaystealth1974 · #28 04-19-2019

True. Hell, one case would last me forever!

phaz0rz · #29 04-19-2019

There's no way UPS doesn't know what's going on. They're probably providing half of the shipping labels in USPS's mail stream. I think they let it go on as a tax write off.

ebaystealth1974 · #30 04-19-2019

Who knows lol... Fedex called me the other day. I got the voicemail because I don't answer my phone unless your name is saved in it! haha

It should work. CC accounts take bank withdrawals for payments. No option to add a CC as a payment option. But you can pay balances with PP, so a CC might work.

They last forever. Lol. Got 5000 one time and the options been greyed out since. I dont feel guilty though, figure how many incoming shipments I do with UPS, the free labels are complementary lol.

ebs - this is all that usually shows for me :(

sunspot - IRDK because I haven't tried, but good luck. I thought about trying something similar one time, ended up on a credit forum reading horror stories from people who had one or both of their cards closed after trying it in one form or another.

Just to be clear, what are you talking about using? A PP debit card or a PP credit card? You want to rack up a negative balance in your PP account using the PP debit card, then pay that balance down with a credit card? You'd have to be using the PP credit card for that right? Since debit won't go into negatives?

I'm lost..

Fedex are dicks about it.

I did answer the call and the lady was nice about it but made it very clear I wouldn't be receiving any more supplies from Fedex unless I used all the supplies I was ordering for Fedex shipments originating from my Fedex account.

What does "quantity exceeded mean"? Are you not allowed to order any more of those?

Yikes! This dude was just acting like an account manager or something. Said to call if I have any questions.

phaz0rz · #37 04-19-2019

They'll only let me order one of each roll every 30 days. Once I've ordered on the 1st it'll say "quantity exceeded" until it's the next month and they allow me to order more. Not sure why it's giving me the option to order a small roll since we just got one of each last week. Maybe I'm allowed to order more than 1 small roll. Never tried.

I'm lost..

Would use the PP credit card (2% cashback mastercard) for purchases.

Instead of using a PP balance or bank account, the only payment option would be a 2.5% Alliant credit card.

Reading said you can have 0 PP balance, the Mastercard will draw from bank account.

I have no idea if it will work. But 4.5% extra profit back on business expenses is awesome.

Hell yeah.. worth a shot!

Mine says it for some shiit I've never even ordered lol... "UPS WorldShip Peel-and-Stick Labels - (4 per Sheet)

My next order from them will be the 6,000 fanfold. That should last me like a year, so I wont bother them again for a while.

Ha, that's so stupid though. I bet over 50% of their revenue is from international and 20lb+ boxes i.e. sellers.

phaz0rz · #42 04-19-2019

Ebs, might as well max it out every month and sell the excess like dozens of other sellers are doing.

It's been fairly well proven they won't ban your account or anything. I think they like giving out labels.

Yeah, but what does that have to do with me ordering labels from them to use with USPS shipments?

Lol they knew what I was trying to do because I'm sure they've been dealing with it since the start of eBay.

Could say Fedex/UPS make a part of their profits just from ecommerce sellers using their services on inbound shipments.

Your average Joe shouldn't be able to get 940 labels a month for free. Cut those out and give sellers x2
