Shipping Center Terms and Conditions
Last updated on October 23, 2023
These Shipping Center Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of PayPal’s Shipping Center service (“Shipping Services”) available through your eligible PayPal account. In these Terms, we use the terms “PayPal” or “we” to refer to PayPal, Inc. In addition to these Terms, your use of Shipping Services is also subject to the PayPal User Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Privacy Statement and any other applicable agreements between you and PayPal. We may terminate, cancel, suspend, amend, or otherwise modify these Terms at any time consistent with the PayPal User Agreement, subject to applicable law.
1. OVERVIEW
The Shipping Services enable you to purchase third-party carriers’ shipping labels using your PayPal account. The Shipping Services are available to PayPal business and personal account-holders in good standing. You are responsible for all variable and transactional costs of using the service, including postage, fees for private carriers, package insurance, adjustments, and any applicable service fees and Taxes (as defined below). Third-party carrier rates may change at any time.
2. PAYMENT METHODS
In order to purchase shipping labels through the Shipping Services, you must select a payment method for each purchase. You can select any payment method linked to your PayPal account or use funds held as balance in your PayPal business account. You authorize us to charge the funding instrument(s) selected by you and any backup payment methods in connection with your use of the Shipping Services.
The billing entity for part or all of the services provided by PayPal may be that of a subsidiary, affiliate, or partner organization of PayPal and you hereby consent to any such billing, including changes to the billing entity from time to time.
3. INCORRECT SHIPPING DETAILS; COST ADJUSTMENTS
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information supplied by you about your shipments. For shipments where (a) you provide incorrect shipping details, or omit required shipping details, about your parcel (such as weight, address, dimensions, dimensional weight, service type, or package type), (b) shipment information is not legible, (c) the shipment has been tendered by you to the wrong carrier, or (d) the packaging is inadequate or improper, you acknowledge that the carrier may (i) deliver the parcel(s) at an increased rate that will be automatically charged to you, (ii) return the parcel(s) to you with the cost of the return and processing of the return charged to you, or (iii) destroy or dispose of the parcel(s), with the cost charged to you.
In the case of cost adjustments, if it is determined by PayPal or a carrier partner that a mailing or shipping transaction did not contain sufficient funds (e.g., not enough postage to cover a USPS shipment due to an underreporting of weight at time of print), PayPal may automatically deduct the amount for the unpaid or short-paid transaction from your designated payment method(s)or the payment method designated by you for such transaction or other payment methods associated with your PayPal account. At its sole discretion, PayPal may also include in such adjustments any surcharges, duties, and fees and Taxes determined by the carriers or the country shipped to (as applicable). You will be able to review these adjustments in your Shipping Services activity history and reports. If one or more of these payments cannot be collected from you (e.g., due to expired payment methods), your access to the Shipping Services or other PayPal services may be suspended.
