Requirements:

• Install the extension for Firefox: Download
  • Make sure to toggle on the optional permissions.
• Install the extension for Chrome: Download

Usage:

• Make sure you're logged into Pirate Ship.

• Go to your Ebay's order page and click 'Purchase shipping label' for any item.

• You'll see a new 'Check Pirate Ship' button on the page as well as a Polymailer checkbox.

• Fill in your weight and dimensions as you normally would.

  • The 3rd dimension should be the smallest.
  • Make sure to fill out all 3 dimensions as to my knowledge UPS and Fedex require so.
  • Pirate Ship has a special deal with UPS and the 3rd dimension will be ignored when Polymailer is checked but again make sure it's filled out for proper UPS price comparision.
  • If you usually only use USPS the 3rd dimension can be ignored (Ebay still requires a value over 0).

• Check the box if the item is being shipped in a Polymailer.

• Click the 'Check Pirate Ship' button.

• Watch the automation commence.

  • Don't worry no label will be purchased. You still control this step to avoid any mishaps.

• When the process is finished you will be alerted letting you know which provider and method is cheapest.

  • If Ebay is the cheapest you can click 'OK' and it will return you to the Ebay shipping page.
  

Note:

This doesn't compare flat rate costs. Ebay is cheaper for all flat rate packages currently. If that changes I'll update the script.

• Thanks for installing either way! I'm a former full-time reseller hoping to earn a living off coding. I'm very fresh to coding so most of what I write is just learning from failure and to better understand the code.
