New to bonanza - confused setting up shipping

Hi, I am new to Bonanza and trying to decipher your calculated shipping options. Most of our items are fitting into an 8 in x 4 in envelops and have weight under 1 oz or some are up to 2 oz. While listing new items here are the options that pop [URL removed] normal pack (1782in) 2.54 or (3.49, if “buyer selects service and pays label cost”) measured (8×4×.5in) 2.54 or (3.49, if “buyer selects service and pays label cost”) large envelope (135in)2.54 or (1.93 if “buyer selects service and pays label”) The large envelope seems to give the buyer a better option, but why in the remaining categories above, the buyer pays more according to the pop up. It is a bit confusing to set it up correctly and I would appreciate any/and all wisdom someone is willing to offer. Additionally, if we print the large envelope labels, are they very big as compared to the measured kind, or are all printed labels same size. My concern is trying to fit it on 8×4 envelope. Thank you,

Hello Martanna13 Welcome to Bonanza. The calculated shipping runs through the USPS unless you have signed up for an account to print your labels through Bonanza. I’ve not done that myself so I can’t give you any advice regarding the labels printed through Bonanza.

But I did check your shipping costs within about 5 different listings you have up and wanted to let you know they appear to be correct to me. When I do my listings that require shipping be calculated I select the type of package and the appropriate shipping type for the weight. Once an item has sold I use the shipping module at Paypal (it’s possible to print shipping through Paypal even if the buyer paid a different way)

Hopefully someone will come along that can answer any questions about printing the labels through Bonanza since I believe that is what you are asking about.

Good luck with your sales, you have some very nice items in your booth.

Thank you!

You might as well set them up with flat rate anyway…with the new USPS updates in Jan..online price for First Class parcels (through paypal or any other shipping service)

1-8 oz is now $2.60, so it does not matter what it weighs..until you get to 9 oz. And as to label..size..the shipping label should be the same size no matter which option you choose…

As to bonz shipping set up, perhaps someone who uses it will come along and let you know what is happening… (I just use the print shipping label link in paypal myself..quicker and easier)…sorry bonz but it is…
