My Paypal Account has been mysteriously frozen (not even Paypal can tell me why), I have turned it off as a payment method and have reactivated Stripe. I have been using Paypal Shipping Station to ship my items, how does shipping work through stripe? Has anyone else had this problem? I used Paypal pretty much for Brick Owl only and now my account is "permanently" closed.

    I'm not aware of Stripe having the ability to create shipping labels; I think they've limited themselves to payment processing, so you'd have to find another shipping label company.

    Some older threads here have sellers that had switched to Pirate Ship (ship.pirateship.com) after having problems with PayPal, and I followed their lead because I didn't like the new Shipping Station. I signed up with them in March and have never looked back. They don't require a PayPal account, and it's free to sign up. I add money to my account with a credit card, refilling as needed. They have more shipping options than PayPal's shipping station (USPS, plus FedEx and UPS), and they have some neat analytic tools that PayPal doesn't, if you're into that. They also have a "copy/paste address" feature for single-label printing, and the ability to import several addresses off a spreadsheet to create, and pay for, multiple shipping labels at once.

    @Thistledown Have you used your PayPal account for anything involving F&F payments ? That is a quick way to get locked out.

    For shipping, go check out Pirate Ship.

    We haven't sent or received an f&f payment. PayPal just claims we are a high risk client and will no longer do business with us. We have no disputes and good ratings on both eBay and BO, really blindsided by this, but ready to move forward. Thank you, Heartland Brix and nita_rae for suggesting Pirate Ship, we will check them out.
