Getting started with eBay postage labels
All of the information you need to create your label is already on the Buy delivery page in My eBay. You just need to package and weigh your item.
To print a postage label:Go to the Sold section of My eBay and click Print postage label next to the item you need to send.
Check the details on the
Buy delivery page: the buyer's user ID, the transaction details, the amount paid for postage and the date by which your buyer expects to receive the item.
Check the buyer's delivery address. You can edit it if your buyer has asked you to send the item to an alternative address.
Check that the delivery service shown (the one you selected when you listed your item) will still deliver your item on time. If it won't, select a faster service so you can meet your buyer's expectations.
If you haven't already, weigh your item to make sure you are buying enough postage.
If you are using Royal Mail, enter the weight in kilograms (for example, 700 grams is 0.7 kilograms) and select the size.
Tip: Check the type of package. Most items will be parcel-sized, but some will meet the Royal Mail's dimensions for letter or large letter, and postage may be less expensive.
Once you're ready, select Confirm & pay to pay for your postage label with PayPal.
Tip: To print postage labels more quickly in the future, you can link your PayPal account to eBay postage labels. Tick the box to set up a billing agreement to pay for labels from your PayPal account.
Click Print postage label. Your label should open in a new window. (Click the printer icon, or go to File and then Print to send your label to your printer.)
Tip: If your browser isn't set up to open Adobe Acrobat or another PDF viewer automatically, save your label to your PC, then open it in your usual PDF viewer to print it.
