How to Use PayPal Shipping

Using PayPal Shipping
1. Receive a cleared payment for your item. PayPal processes instant payments if the buyer has a 'backup' bank account or credit card linked to their account, in addition to the main bank account they use. If not, the service also uses 'e-checks' which take three to five business days to clear.
2. From your PayPal account home page, go to the Account Overview or History page, then click on the Print Shipping Label button.
3. Prepare a packing slip with complete item and delivery information, and print it out. Include it with the item you are shipping.
4. Wrap the item to be shipped, and weigh the item on a postal scale.
5. Prepare the shipping label, either for USPS or UPS delivery. On the available information fields, include the address information, weight information, and service type (overnight, Priority Mail, etc.). The site will then accept payment and create the shipping label, which can be printed out on an Avery label and placed on your package.
6. Schedule a pickup at your home via UPS or USPS, or bring the package to the post office or UPS storefront for drop-off. You can track the delivery if you have included delivery confirmation, or ordered overnight service.
7. For multiple orders, use the MultiOrder Shipping feature. With this tool, you can import two or more orders from PayPal, from eBay items that were not paid using PayPal, or from your own file of orders. You then select a service type, enter the weight, and enter value for insurance purposes. The shipping service you have selected might also include delivery and signature confirmation. You then print the shipping labels, a packing list, and packing slips for each individual order, and can then schedule a pickup by USPS or UPS.

How to Send Money From Morocco

1. Find a MoneyGram location using the MoneyGram website (see Resources) to send money. As of July 2010, there are 284 MoneyGram locations in Morocco. Take some photo IDs to the location and send your money. You will be given a reference number that you must give to the person receiving the money.
2. Check to see if your bank has an international branch in Morocco. For instance, you will find Citibank in Morocco and BMCI Bank in Morocco is affiliated with Bank of the West. If you have a bank that is affiliated with a bank in Morocco, you can just do an international money transfer by visiting the bank in Morocco. Fees for international money transfers vary.
3. Send money online with PayPal, Western Union or Moneybookers (see Resources). With these services, the money transfer is immediate, but the recipient does need to have an account for Moneybookers and PayPal. With Western Union, you can send the money for pickup at a Western Union location, to a bank account or for home delivery as a Visa prepaid card.

How to Send Packaged Food or Money to Cuba

1. Avoid shipping money or goods through Federal Express. As of April of 2010, Cuba is on FedEx's list of countries that the company refuses to ship to. Also on this list are Syria, Iran and North Korea.
2. Cross the border to ship your package or mail your check. You may be able to send mail to Cuba from either Canada or Mexico, using their postal systems or a Canadian or Mexican shipping company. If you live along the U.S. border with either of these countries, this may be an easier option for you.
3. Send money electronically to your contact in Cuba. Two services capable of this are PayPal and Western Union. There may be some charges associated with this transfer.
4. Speak with your local U.S. Post Office clerk. Currently, the USPS allows postal customers to send mail to Cuba in the form of standard letters sent via First-Class Mail International, International Priority Airmail (IPA) or International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) mailings. However, prior to mailing your check, money order or other form of currency, you will need to contact the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in the U.S. Department of the Treasury for current regulations and to be apprised of all relevant regulations pertaining to items mailed from the U.S. to Cuba.

How to Anonymously Pay for Dating Sites

Paying Discretely
1. Create a new email account. If other people have access to your normal email account or there is a chance someone might see the contents of your inbox, they could see the transaction notifications that come with paying for the dating site. Gmail, Yahoo! and Hotmail are viable options.
2. Sign up for a PayPal account. Not all dating sites will have discrete business names that show up when the fees are charged to a person's checking account. By using PayPal for the dating site fees, the charges will not show up on personal bank statements. But keep in mind bank statements will show money was transferred to a PayPal account. To reduce the amount of emails pointing toward these transfers, use the newly created email to sign up for the account.
3. Use the new email and PayPal account when signing up for the dating site. There's no point in trying to anonymously pay for a dating site if their email updates litter a potentially unsecure email inbox.
4. Pay for several months of the dating site access at one time. It's much easier to explain transferring money to PayPal every few months to pay for using the site instead of paying monthly. Another option is to transfer enough money to PayPal to cover several months' worth of fees. The idea is to avoid monthly withdrawals from bank statements. If the same amount of money is transferred to PayPal every month, whoever sees the account statements will know some sort of service is being obtained, likely leading to uncomfortable questions.
