Shipping weight maximum?

[denise15601]

I have been looking for an answer to this on Tradesy and also on Google....For the $10.50 shipping label, what is the maximum weight allowed?

I don't think it matters as the buyer pays shipping on each item and I've never heard of combining orders, so I suspect that Tradesy has the same deal with the USPS as Posh - any priority rate ships for $10.50. I quit using their labels because, at least when I was selling there, they were silly .gif files which don't work with the USPS scanners. After having to sit on my hands with a $120 order because they couldn't even scan as delivered, I stopped.

Thanks! Do you mean that you can't print out their shipping labels?

A .gif is a picture format. When you enlarge it, it becomes pixelated and can cause the lines to be blurry or unclear. When this happens, they don't register when they are scanned.

There's no reason the labels should be in .gif format instead of .pdf format.

Thanks!

Yeah, I can print them out but Pantlandia hit the nail on the head - they cannot be scanned. It's the dumbest thing since the default for most shipping labels is .pdf. Maybe they upgraded it, but I wanted to give you a warning about them - there must be some way to check to see if they still use .gif files - it's been over a year since I've sold something there and over three years since I've used their labels. Bummer, too, because with coats it's like Poshmark, a really good shipping deal.

I never use their labels. I always buy and print mine from Paypal. And I send my stuff first class usually from there.

Thanks all! I can't seem to find an online Tradesy group to ask. I only indicated their labels for the heavy stuff.
