Ebay, Paypal, and Shipping

[Maniah]

OK> I may just be super blind, or a bit slow.. But... My auctions always have shipping options on them. First class or Priority. When the auction ends, all I ever find is info telling me that I was paid X.. Nothing tells me which shipping option that the buyer selected.

Is there any way to figure this out other than math?

I know when I go to print my label the postage that was chosen pops up.  So if they choose First Class that option will show, and if the choose Priority that option should be the one that shows.
 
Did that make sense?  I'm taking allergy meds and they are kicking my behind.

Do you print the label through Ebay or Paypal? I always print mine through Paypal.

I print my postage through ebay, it's easier to keep track of for me with my store.  And like I said above it tells you what has been chosen by your buyer. 
 
I was under the impression so did Paypal so I checked.  When I hit Print Label the first screen that popped up posted what shipping service was selected under Order Details.  So you shouldn't have to guess what service they chose because it should be listed.
 
Are you not getting the same screen that I am seeing when you hit Print Label?

Hmm I'll have to double check next time I sell something that has an option on shipping. Right now I am just selling books and I am doing a flat rate shipping cost to anywhere in the USA. The only options are for anyone who buys overseas.

Last time, as I recall.. I click on the print shipping in paypal, and it opens up a tab where it asks me to select the shipping type from a drop down box and set the weight. It never defaults to any shipping type. And if I look on the order details, all it tells me is that the person paid TOTAL and that X was shipping and X was auction. It doesn't say what the shipping type was.

If you could show me a screen shot of what you are talking about I would really appreciate it.
