ebay shipping question?

Question

when you print out shipping labels, do you just tape them to the package and put them in the mail box??? i hate running to the post office every day! how does it work? help! thanks!

so after i put the package in the mailbox, they pick it up, scan it...and take the money out of my account?? right???

Answer 1

If you have your Paypal account linked to your eBay account, and you use it to automatically print shipping "labels", it prints out on plain white paper and deducts the money from your PayPal account when you verify that the label has printed correctly (just in case your printer jams, you can reprint it).

You tape the paper to the package on all sides (so it doesn't catch on anything and tear), being careful not to hide the barcode.

Then you mail it just like any other package. You can ALSO insure packages that you ship this way, with no additional hassle. And your labels have a neat little eBay logo that get people all happy when they get your package from eBay.

I wish I could send ALL of my mail that way ! LOL!

Answer 2

The money is taken out of your paypal account when you print the label out. The bar code helps with routing the package and verifying that you have paid.

It is a great time saving feature of eBay. Good luck with your sales.

Answer 3

I think you can buy tags you feed to your printer and just stick them to your box. You can also print them on paper and stick them to your box using transparent tape. The important part is that the USPS are able to scan the print out so it's probably more important that your printer has plenty of ink.

Answer 4

You still have to pay the postage to the post office the label is just so that you dont have to write it out.

Answer 5

if you use UPS or FedEx, you can arrange pickup. If you're using USPS and printing your own postage (legally), you can also arrange for pickups
