Ok, finally got initial access to new Ship Manager even though everyone's advice from Intuit was incorrect.

@TimL got me going the right way by forcing another upgrade today.

But now, like @hairball reported, we seem to be forced to provide a credit card for USPS just to get through setup so we can eventually connect our UPS and FedEx accounts.  

Has anyone figured out a way to get to UPS/FedEx shipping without providing a credit card?  If not, who is getting this card?  Intuit, ShipEngine, and/or the postal service?
