Are you struggling to find the Shipping Preferences section in your PayPal account? You’re not the only one. Many users have faced similar difficulties, often due to outdated guides and videos. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through the steps to configure your PayPal to print shipping labels using a Dymo printer and help you locate those elusive shipping preferences.

## The Challenge

You’ve attempted to set up your PayPal account to print shipping labels on your Dymo printer, but the online instructions and videos only seem to add to the confusion. One guide suggested simply selecting the Dymo printer and you’d be all set. However, this approach resulted in a mini shipping label, which isn’t what you wanted at all.

## Step-by-Step Guide to Find Shipping Preferences

### Step 1: Log In to Your PayPal Account
First, ensure you’re logged into your PayPal account. Make sure you’re using the correct username and password, and that you have access to the account’s management tools.

### Step 4: Set Up Shipping Preferences

### Step 5: Printing Shipping Labels
