You can enter an address manually, pay with your balance, then print the label.

X2 on this,
I used to hate shipping as gift until i found this option, now all the shipping comes out of paypal, before i had to make sure i had enough in the bank/cash to cover shipping, that number can get kinda large depending on how much and what you are shipping lol.

Don't feel bad, man. I used PayPal for years and never knew about the shipping link until just recently. I don't even know if there's a direct link to the shipping page from your PayPal account page. I actually stumbled upon it through Google.

Here are my account options, which of these is like a Gift option
under Online purchases
paypal a.jpg
under Personal payments
paypal b.jpg
Thanks for all input you can give
Gerry,
you can select the Personal payments and when you choose that one, you will notice that when you entered an amount, there will be a conversion there on how may percentage ( sender will absorb Paypal Fees). That i believe is Pay by Gift.
Well i normally ask to pay as Gift as others also do it so if they do it then i can do it...
i dont know that when you send it as Gift that you have no security when the end party screw you up... hmmm.... maybe i dont have any intention of scewing somebody up...
but normally when i sell on here i do ask to pay as Gift ...
i also pay as Gift if the seller ask it coz i trust guys here ... except... ahem ahem ahem... anyway.... trust is very hard to earn and very easy to loose.....if they decide to @@ck y@@ over a couple of dollars well its up to them... a few buks for them and maybe you loose c buks here and there AND you learn... then the next time dont deal with em....
thats what we have to do for this Hobby....

Is it someone you've sent a gift to before?
i buy on guys here that ask to pay as Gift, so i think International also counts for payment as Gift... thats why i also ask to be payed by as Gift... but ever since i have no issue ( that is, on my side as seller) coz i religiously do my part as a seller.. that is do my fare share of shipping the Item to the buyer......
