			==Shipping==
			PayPal now includes a quite sophisticated shipping service at no extra charge. The service supports USPS First Class as well as the mail types supported by the USPS's Click-n-Ship service (which does not support First Class).

			There seems to be very little documentation anywhere on how this system works. It is mostly very intuitive, but there are some aspects of it which can trip you up (especially if you are trying to use it in a hurry after [[Endicia]] suddenly stopped working).

			PayPal makes it a little difficult to ship to arbitrary addresses. It is set up with the idea that you will be shipping to addresses from which you have just received money, but if you didn't enter a shipping address at the time the charge was processed in the [[/virtual terminal\|virtual terminal]], no "ship" button appears next to the charge, and you have to use the Multiple-Order feature.

			Multiple-Order shipping lets you import names and addresses from a [[comma-separated values\|CSV]] or [[tab-separated values\|TSV]] file. The file extension must be .csv or .tsv as appropriate, or you won't be able to import the file. The order of the fields doesn't matter, but should include the following:
			* ID (optional -- e.g. package number) ''(haven't tested this)''
			* first name
			* last name
			* street address
			* city
			* state
			* zipcode
			* country (I ''think'' it supports non-US shipping, though there was some indication that it didn't under some circumstances...)

			The first row must be a header; it will not be imported, but will be used to let you specify the order of the fields using a very nice drag-and-drop interface. Once you have specified the order, you can save this as a template so you don't have to do it again.
