Classic Label Printing?
You know, the old way to print. Which, IMO was so much better. (I've been having a lot of issues with the new printing)
If anyone needs to know how (or am I the only clueless one), I'll post it later (not at my desk right now).

If you're having issues with printing from the new view, you may need to update your browser.

I've never seen the 'new experience'. I use Pirateship on everything and the few times that I've checked the eBay shipping it was still the old version.

The new shipping app is working fine for me now, but man it was pretty rough for a while. I still like the old version better as it's quicker, but one thing about the new version I like is that when you click to all options, it shows you a breakdown with shipping cost.
Pirateship saves me nothing for 90% of the packages I ship, but I do use it for international and some soft packet rates - a nice savings there.

For example, I might get Priority, First Class, and Large Flat Rate...but there is no way for me to choose Padded FR. The rep said there is some sort of glitch with using calculated, but was quite evasive about it.

I've noticed that, too, save for envelopes and international. |

Doesn't save me anything either on US shipping, because everything I ship is Media Mail. But international it saves $2 to $4, depending on the location. Plus, the reports have good info and I have my PayPal debit card hooked up, so I get 1% back on all the postage purchases. It also bring in shipping from the other site I sell on, plus all 3 of my eBay accounts, so I don't have to go to each one and print shipping individually. I can have a sale on all 4 accounts (3 eBay, 1 Discogs) and batch print my shipping all at once. |

They took away classic view for many of us, months ago. Some ppl can still get to it, others can't. Are you clicking on the right button to get PFRE? You have to play with those buttons a bit to see all the options. I printed 4 PFRE's yesterday with no problem on the new view. Next time I print one, I'll try to remember to post the buttons I used. You may also have to put in the RIGHT dimensions, as that is required to get some of the options. I don't see RRA, unless I use the correct dimensions of an RRA.
There's some things that are better on the new shipping screens & others that are worse. It took a bit to get the hang of & there was a bug with 16oz not coming up as FC, but once they fixed that, a few months ago, I haven't had problems.

Is there a tab that says Carrier Packaging? I sometimes have to click that to get padded flat rates to come up. |

Also, the steps have to be done in the right order - it's not as flexible as the classic version, but I really like seeing all the shipping prices right along like that as I ship such a variety of items.
Pirateship has great integration, yes. Since my other site is Posh and I don't get many sales on Etsy I don't have the opportunity to use that batching often.
