I asked this legitimate question (considering that the title only mentions 1st Class and Media)

The only response I got was sarcastic. but I am not interested in knowing about priority as well.

Any help is appreciated.

DreamSymphony told you how to ship parcel post. Where is the problem.

Does anyone know if I can use a flat-rate priority mail envelope from USPS to ship using media mail postage? Thanks!

You cannot use priority mail supplies for anything other than priority mail.

*high five*

I guess my problem is the title (its a bit misleading "Ship FIRST-CLASS & MEDIA-MAIL USPS for no monthly fee")

Since it only mentions 1st class and media mail does that necessarily mean that you cannot ship priority? The title seems to limit the options of shipping while the actual shipping options provided may include all methods. I am just trying to get a better understanding

I'm pretty sure the title is what it is because before people found that Paypal allows this, the only way to print postage that wasn't express/priority was to have a subscription based service. I don't know why the title doesn't say parcel post, maybe because first class above 13 oz is basically parcel post, maybe because most people here would ship first class or media, or maybe paypal didn't offer it two years ago (I don't remember).

Perhaps the title should be changed to "*HOT* Ship any method USPS for no monthly fee via paypal"

That title does sound much better.

Thanks OP, I used this for the first time today (outside of ebay).

Tagged! This should be stickied.

Yeah, we always vote for a sticky but mods can't take a hint.

bippity bump!

Bumparoo

Quick question, can you use a bubble envelope/large manilla envelope to mail something via Media Mail? When I input envelope on the usps/paypal site, I don't get a Media Mail option. But when I put Package in, I get it. Thoughts?

Hmm makes no sense.
Choose that you are sending a package not an envelope (the weight is the weight and that's all that matters for Media Mail)
But if you are shipping one game(under 13 oz.), choose First Class
as it is less expensive than MM and faster.

Up Up and away!!!

Man this thread has saved me time that I used to waste in the post office.

Wait, so all this does is essentially grant you access to paypal's shipping system? No free mailing?

I don't have a scale. :(
