Starting Over

Hi James,

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my message.

My mistake I was not very clear in my message yesterday.

I called USPS after I reinstall PS3 yesterday to ensure my account was in fact activated.

I requested that Nath (USPS TechSupport 1 800 344-7779 as for Tech Support) double check my account to ensure that it was in fact activated. I was on the phone with him for 45 minutes, 15 of those minutes I was on hold while he made sure my account was in fact activated. I also verified that I was using the correct URLs. It is and I am.

My question is this, during BETA Testing was it not pointed out that there was a problem talking to the USPS and UPS Servers?

Per my request after testing on 6 May 2010 they sent me a message on 7 May 2010 with taking about my test and in the message I was told my API Account was activated. They included two URLs for the Production Servers. (See Postal Activation 1Attachment). I am not using the testing URL.

I have attached a part of the message I received on 27 April 2010 that gave me the URLs for the USPS Test Servers. (See TestServInfo Attachment) As you can see the test server URLs are different.

As you can see from the information I have provided below. The URLs from USPS and the one you provided in your message are all having problems talking to the USPS Server.

As I stated in my message yesterday if I disable the Shipping Tab Paypal works. But when I check the box to enable shipping I get an error message.

Per your message this morning I used the URL you sent me and received the same error message I get yesterday. (See Checkout Failure Message Attachment)

I have included pictures where I have used both URLs in PS3 (See Attachments 2 and 3) that were sent to me from USPS. I did remove my User ID from both images.

I used "http://production.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll " and here is the error message I received on the Checkout failure Page:

---------------------------------------
Next I used " ShippingAPI.dll " the second URL I received from the USPS. BTW this is the URL I was told to use by Nath at USPS Customercare Tech Support (1-800-344-7779). Here is the error message I received using this URL (it was the one message I sent yesterday but just in case I am sending it again):
