I was printing a shipping label for a buyer the other day. He is from Canada but I was shipping to a US address to a friends house. No problem. When I went to Paypal I had the option to print international shipping!!!!! When in the **** did this happen. Did I miss something?? When could we print international shipping labels?? It offered Airmail, GPM and something else. You of course still have to fill out a paper customs form but you can print the shipping and pay for it with paypal now from the looks of it. That mean's I don't have to go to the post office anymore because I can now give the packages to my mail carrier along with all of my domestic packages. One word, FANTASTIC!!! Especially since the post office is 12 miles from my house.

You have to have the eBayer's phone number and you can't use it for Airmail letter. Airmail parcel post is so much more expensive! The $4+ package I have now would cost over $13 to send Airmail Parcel Post as opposed to Airmail Letter. Most of mine will still have to go to the post office. Still, it's a good thing. Maybe Airmail Letter will follow soon.

I never use Letter Post. I require insurance on all international shipments so all my shipment's are parcel post. I didn't notice surface (economy) parcel post in the options though, only airmail and faster services. Still nice since 80% or more of my international shipments are airmail. Just would be nice if they let us know they had launched this feature.
