Did PayPal Hire My 10-yr Old Grandson?
I am beginning to wonder if PayPal has hired my 10-yr old grandson to design their new Packing Slip. Below is a scan of a PayPal packing slip as it looked up until this week.
This week PayPal started using a new packing slip. This is how it looks.
I found several problems with this new packing slip.
#1. It is ugly. Notice that the boxes are not even aligned.
#2. It is too large. Note that the old packing slip shown above is for 3 items. The new packing slip is for only one item but it is one inch longer than the old packing slip. I have always printed my packing slip on one end of a standard 81/2 x 11 piece of paper and printed my shipping label on the other end. I would cut the shipping label off and attach it to the outside of the package. The packing slip would go inside the package. One sheet of paper and I am through. The new packing slip takes up so much room that I now have to print the shipping label on a separate piece of paper. I am now using 2 sheets of paper where I used to only use one. PayPal's parent company, eBay, touts it's eBay Green Team. Maybe the word hasn't gotten down to the powers that be at PayPal
#3. Note that the new PayPal packing slip has a line for shipping insurance. Last I heard Paypal's parent company, eBay did not allow sellers to charge the buyer for shipping insurance. Why have a line for Shipping Insurance when it is not allowed?
I started this post by asking if maybe PayPal had hired my 10-yr old grandson. After further thought, I am pretty sure they did not. I think he could do a better job. After all, he will be 11 this Sunday.

I couldn't agree with you more. I do a lot of sales from my website as well as eBay and this has really put a damper on my morning prep for shipping. I find it hard to get past all those lines.
I emailed Paypal and complained. They responded by telling me to clean out my cookies and delete my history. I feel insulted and slighted by their "support" staff.

Is it legal to hire a new employee without interviewing all internal applicants first?

Sometimes a company just feels like it needs some "new blood" or a fresh approach in a particular position. Some positions also require particular education elements or prior experience.

I find those packing slips to be really funny, kind of like a joke, played on us, the receivers... not so funny all of a sudden. Charging you for shipping insurance when they are not allowed, that is not too nice of PP.

This is the classic mistake of a big corporation, no one gives a damn about the customer. They just pass on the responsibility and consider the problem solved, although it's not.
