Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for performing various shipping related functionality are presented. The methods can automatically predict shipping attributes based on historical shipping data, and automatically purchase postage for a current shipment from a shared postage account while preventing the postage account shared among multiple users from having insufficient funds. Furthermore, predictions of shipping attributes for shipments may not be presented to a user, until the certainty of the predictions reaches or surpasses a confidence level or a threshold, where the confidence level or the threshold can be determined and changed by a user. Even when the certainty of the predictions reaches or surpasses a confidence level, and the predictions are presented to the user, the user can accept, reject, or change the predicted attributes.
