Ooops!
I was in a hurry and I jumped into this post without reading it completely.
I had assumed the Mgt had removed their charges from this perk. In the article there is a link to the original blog last June which does in fact mention the fees associated with this, and at the time contained this, my [URL removed]

Every time this subject comes up, I feel like I’m the only one who uses it. Nevertheless, it is a really great service to me. I had problems every time I tried to print a label at Paypal. Seems like Paypal and my printer were at war, or something. It is so wonderful to be able to print shipping labels right on Bonz.
(and I don’t have to cut off the “ebay” from the label.

If you leave some money on deposit, it is only 40 cents fee, not 95 cents. (That way Bonz does not incur a fee for charging it to your credit or debit card for each small transaction.) That 40 cent fee is well worth it to me, probably because I am not a high volume shipper. (lol) I image that the fee is from Stamps.com, since that appears on the label. If you use Stamps.com, you have to pay a monthly fee. This way, I can pay the fee per package. I went through my listings and increased the shipping fee in order not to lose money. (Most of the time it is still below what Amazon charges.)

The only problem I have had with it is when I needed to change the shipping address. I was not able to do it on Bonz, so ended up using Paypal shipping. But since this is normally a risky procedure anyway, (when a buyer asks you to change the address), I consider this a minor problem.

The only other thing I really wish I could figure out is how to change the size of the labels. They are HUGE, almost too big to fit on a book package. (Resizing the view in the window did not work.)

That is my problem with stamps.com. Hate it. I never was able to print one label and lost so much on there., & love pp. Regarding bonz, i don’t make enough sales to warrant putting $30 or whatever it is. that $30 would probably stay there 1 – 2 years! lol But glad its working out for you.

My problem cleared itself up. All is back to normal. I have been using PP to print my labels for over ten years and this is the first problem I encountered.

I had the same problem with the size, trying to fit it onto a box 6″×4″. What I did is, after I clicked print and my printer screen came up, I changed the size percentage to 90% instead of 100%. If that doesn’t work, when your printer screen comes up, save it as a PDF, and then reduce the size.

I have not used it yet as there is a fee involved, and its nothing that I can’t do on usps or paypal shipping. Plus my post office is very close, so i could just go there. I wish they didn’t charge a fee or could be more competitive in price with usps or paypal, then i would use it. It would be very nice to just do the shipping here, but right now, i just can’t justify the fee. I have not seen this article, if Bonanza is able to lower its costs for sellers, i may be doing my shipping here if its closer in cost to what i pay now.

When this first caught my eye, I had thought Bonz had removed the fees. NOT
