PirateShip how can you pay

[GLJ]

I tried to ship with PirateShip today. All went well until it came time to pay. I use PayPal but when I went to use it it had a popup that wanted a bank. I could not get past it. What is the secret? Spent a half an hour trying. I'm not the most savvy with these thing but nothing I tried would let me pay with PayPal.

Go to "Settings" then click "Payment Method."

That takes you here....

Click on "Add new payment method" (top right)... and you'll get this popup.

Click "Pay with Paypal" and just follow the prompts from there.

 

[Jim]

It'll ask if you want to make that the default payment method. Tell it yes and it'll automatically use Paypal without the hassle from then on.

There was a Paypal glitch last week had to use my card...

 

[Jim]

I've got Paypal and a card both on there... with Paypal as default. If (when ) there's a Paypal glitch, I can tell it to use the card.

They have live chat help during the day.

 

[GLJ]

I tried all that no joy.

 

[Jim]

What browser you using? Maybe try a different one?

Hey GLJ,
I had the same issue.
my solution, I typed in the help chat box "card payment setup not working." and they unlocked the account.
for some reason some accounts get locked right from the starting gun.
hope this helps

Not familiar with this - however if you use safari browser (Apple Mac book) , load a google chrome or other browser. Safari has a lot of security build in and sometimes it’s just to much. I have had a lot of issues with safari so use another browser when it doesn’t work.

Sorry for delay
Pirate ship a legitimate shipping company that gets us little guys the big commercial user rates. A slick business model that works!

Yep! learned about it here and only used a couple times but save good amount on shipping. I checked with local Post Office and they told me if package fits mail box I can just stick label on it and mail just like normal outgoing letter. If too big for box I can contact them via email and let them know it's, say, on back step!

Just a quick shout out for those not familiar with PirateShip. I just sold a seat to a fellow member in CA. Shipping quotes from Indiana were over $100 for USPS and almost $85 for UPS and FedEx. This was more than I was selling him the seat for. As a last resort I remembered talk of PirateShip. I spent 5 minutes setting up an account and got a UPS rate through them for $42 ! I can't believe the deep discount. I printed the label and dropped it off at the UPS store today. For those who don't know, it's worth looking into. No cost or membership fees. Everybody wins!

I don't have a decent scale (bathroom scale / weigh my self / pickup package and weigh my self again /do the math and print the label )
So I just add a pound or 2 to the weight to be safe and send it off

 

[willis]

I used my cheapo bathroom scale and it was withing a few OZ of the UPS scale.

I bought a refurbished high tech scale on eBay several years ago. 0-150 lbs. I don’t recall what I paid, but it wasn’t too expensive. It appears to be dead nuts accurate and it is still serving me well as far as shipping boxes from home.

I wonder if PP got attacked. Probably did, I imagine they get attacked every day.
Funny thing, I got two emails from PP giving me a Two-factor number code to change my password.
I ignored them, as obviously someone was playing silly buggers.

I could not link my PP account to PirateShip yesterday either. It showed as an option, but nowhere I could enter my info.
