Shippo is a capable, well-established platform. For a lot of merchants it is exactly the right call.
Sell everywhere
Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, TikTok Shop, Walmart and more sync into one place. If eBay is just one of your channels, that matters.
40+ carriers
USPS and UPS plus FedEx, DHL Express, and dozens of regional and international carriers — useful if you ship beyond the basics.
A real shipping API
Shippo is as much a developer platform as an app, with a mature multi-carrier API for teams that want to build their own workflow.
If eBay is your store, a platform built for a dozen channels is more than you need. flipfox trades breadth for speed on the one workflow you run all day.
One-click buy
Once an order has a weight and box — entered once or set by a rule — buy the label in a single click, with the address and cheapest service already filled in.
Cheaper of USPS and UPS, automatically
flipfox compares both carriers per package and picks the lower rate, so you protect your margin without checking by hand.
Flat, predictable pricing
A free plan and a flat Pro plan from $9 a month — no per-label surcharges and no tiers that jump as your volume climbs.
Bring your own EasyPost account
flipfox buys labels through your own EasyPost account, so any rates you've negotiated come along — with no per-label fee for using them.
If you sell across several marketplaces, need FedEx or DHL, or want a shipping API to build on, Shippo is the more complete platform. If eBay is your store and you want the fewest possible clicks per label with flat, predictable pricing, flipfox is the more focused tool.
The Free plan needs no credit card, so the honest answer is to connect your eBay store and see how many clicks disappear.
Yes, for eBay sellers. Both buy discounted USPS and UPS labels, verify addresses, and write tracking back to your store. Shippo is a broad multi-channel, multi-carrier platform built for merchants selling across Shopify, Amazon, Etsy and more. flipfox is purpose-built for eBay and focuses on making each label one click.
It depends on how you ship. Shippo's free Starter plan covers up to 30 labels a month, but adds a $0.05-per-label fee when you use your own carrier account, and its paid tiers scale from about $17 to $199 a month by label volume. flipfox has a free plan and a flat Pro plan from $9 a month with no per-label surcharge, so your cost stays predictable as volume grows.
Yes. Shippo connects 40+ carriers worldwide, including FedEx, DHL Express, and many regional and international services. flipfox deliberately focuses on USPS and UPS — the two carriers most eBay sellers actually use — and automatically buys the cheaper of the two for every package.
Yes. flipfox buys labels through your own EasyPost account, which you connect once during setup. Any rates you have negotiated come along, and there is no per-label surcharge for using them. Shippo also supports your own carrier accounts, but charges $0.05 per label to do so on its free plan.
If you sell across several marketplaces or need FedEx, DHL, or a shipping API, Shippo is the more complete platform. If eBay is your store and you want the fewest possible clicks per label with simple, flat pricing, flipfox is the more focused tool. flipfox has a free plan and no credit card is required to try it.
