Well, I myself managed to figure out how to create prepaid shipping labels on Paypal. Perhaps you could go have a look, then write her a quick tutorial of the steps. And I understand PirateShip is quite easy (even for girls) too

Not quite sure what you are trying to do here. If you want to personally bill a person for anything, open a PayPal or Square account. They are both money brokers. Then send then an invoice, and wait for the payment.

^ How do you know this girl? Why is she handing you some packages to ship to her, promising to pay you when she is back in the summer? I fail to follow this…

Eh? I don’t see anything in your post that would explain why on earth you would do that.

Why did you come here asking for suggestions on how to deal with shady people? How is this tied to selling on Amazon?

If she’s “trying to be slick”, then your best bet is to not get involved in any way with this girl.

This would be your best bet, however keep in mind that if she is “being slick” already, then she could just dispute the charges with her credit card company and she will likely get her money back 90% of the time, especially in a case where you are providing a service.

Your best bet is to just drop this girl like a bad habit.

I’ve read your whole post eight times, trying different scenarios, and still don’t understand the relationship between you and the girl and the packages and the labels and the summer…and Amazon.

But, from what you have said (I think “slick” is the operative word), it’s pretty clear to me that you’d never see the money if you did this. You’ve broached a couple ideas here that might work, but they would require her cooperation, and I don’t think that’s in her game plan.

I don’t think any of us know where we’ll be come summer…

I think you should try to limit your exposure to people of the the opposite sex, that might be postage needy, just send them down to the post-office…

Alternatively give them the link to postage pirate… if they’re printer deprived, maybe they could find someone else with a printer, to help them out…

No matter how cute Wylie & interesting they may be or seemingly appear to be…

You just don’t want to look like a postage sticker -Sugar Daddy…

Good luck

LOL - oh, I don’t think the post office does - c o d - anymore anyways…

I think we have a case a “white knight syndrome” here. This would kinda sorta explain everything (almost).

haha. Thanks for the laughs. I might just have her use paypal or usps.com and just mail me the labels. I was hoping for something where she could use and it would email me the label just like a return label would to the customer. Paypal does not email labels correct?

She gave them to me as I picked her up to take her to the airport at 4am…I guess she thought mattscomputers could ship them free. a few bucks would be ok but this is going to cost close to $100.

So it does seem like PP allows you to just purchase the shipping label, and its web based! So she can pdf the files or PP will email a link to print the labels! Yeppie!
