I just found this wonderful info that has made me so happy! :frolic:

(Make sure you're logged into Paypal before clicking on the link provided in this page)

Now even if someone pays for a pony with a gift transaction we can still get the Paypal rates and cheaper DC :frolic: :frolic:

I'm not sure if it works for letters; I use it for postage for packages. Used to be (or so I thought) that if you mailed a package online that was not connected to paypal/ebay you had to use priority mail, but this link lets you send via first class. It's better because delivery confirmation is only ~20 cents instead of 85 cents. And the postage itself is slightly cheaper, I think.

Thanks for posting!
I am pretty sure this has been in effect for awhile now. 

But none the less it is a good reminder for folks who are not aware they can do this.

Yep, it probably has, but I had no idea so I figured others might not either ^^;  I always told people never to pay by gift transaction (even if they wanted to) because the total works out cheaper if I can print through paypal

Do you guys know how to access it regularly through paypal (not having to go through the link I posted)?

I have the link bookmarked, there is no direct way to get there as far as I know.

Just open the multi order shipment tool. There should be a link on the right hand side of your PayPal page after you log in. I'd double check but I'm on my phone and it's a bit of a pain.

I always print online through pay pal first class and have been doing that for several years now.
The multi shipping tool to the right works great. 
Now if they would just get it together for International First Class ;) with the Multi shipping tool.
