I actually just used this to print postage and a label for Poland. It printed the declaration as well. I haven’t sent overseas in a while, is that a new thing? Used to have to wait in line for overseas packages.

Good idea, but unfortunately it mega-fails if you don’t have a paypal balance, at least for me 
(There’s definitely a bank account associated here… so IDK…)

I guess you can just add balance to your PayPal account from your bank account. Then your balance is positive and maybe it works
Takes 3-5 days to do that, so not really a good option. I searched the error code and some people say adding a credit card works so I’ll try that. There is DEFINITELY a bank account attached here so the error message is already wrong.

Oops. Then try what you said haha
Huh. I’ve been running mine on $0.00 with a linked checking account for quite a while.
Edit: I also had a linked credit card the whole time, as a backup

Yeah it freaked the HECK right out until I added a CC. Then it was happy.

Yea that’s odd. I’ve done it quite a few times, I have a bank/debit card attached though.

The funny thing is this is better than the USPS form, not just because it actually allows you to send first class package internationally … but also because it accepts accented characters and is generally a far nicer UI!

I love the fact that it lets you fill out the customs form. That used to be such a pain.

Wait do I have to attach the customs form? oh wait I see it’s part of the label. All good.

The absolute best part is you don’t have to wait in line at the post office (which used to be a requirement when sending with a customs form). You can just drop it off at the box.

It looks like PayPal also sends to the receiver an email with shipping info and tracking ID xD

Oh man. I didn’t know that existed. I’ve used PayPal to print labels for sales via G&S but I didn’t realize you could just buy/print a label for any package.
I wish USPS just worked like this. So stupid that this isn’t just available via USPS.com.

So if I’m sending something to Hong Kong, is going through PayPal the way to go? I’m pretty new to shipping, and have never sent anything overseas.

Probably the easiest option is to use PayPal

Edit - oops sorry someone else pointed out you can ship for less through Paypal. I didn’t know that trick for a while either and it’s made things soooooooooo much easier.
Honestly, if I got a yoyo like that I’m not sure if I would laugh or cringe. 
I could totally see a situation where f the buyer didn’t like something about the yoyo (ie: “hey you said this was 8/10 for vibe but it’s 7/10 you ripped me off!!!”) this is exactly what they would blame it on.
But yeah use Paypal, it’s super easy and cheaper
