After selling an item on ebay how do you go by shipping the item? -

I just sold an item on ebay they paid me already through paypal, do i have to print a shipping label online or can i just say the item has been shipped and pay for it at a UPS store and enter my tracking code later? And on the Pay-pal screen to confirm the payment can i click the item has been sent then send it later that day?

I agree with the other answerer that you should take to someone to ship it this time. A UPS store can pack it, address it/label it and all that. You just need to take the item, the address and some money to pay for shipping and their services. If you want to save some money you can pack and box it before you do.If you intend to do a lot of eBay selling in the future, though, look into how to ship yourself. From PayPal, you can set up accounts with both USPS and UPS. At both those carrier s websites, they offer a lot on info on how to box an item for shipping. Do a search of the eBay guides for tutorials on this, too. BTW, the general rule of thumb I use is that if it s small and no more than 1 lb., I ship it USPS-- either First Class or Priority and if it s heavier, I ship UPS. But you have to be very careful to keep it both well packed and small enough you re not charged extra for larger dimensions.

Deep in thought gave you the best answer. It will save you a lot of time though if you learn how to print the labels at home. FedEx Ground and USPS can be a lot less expensive than UPS so check that out. I ve had more items damaged by UPS than the other two.

Just take it to the UPS store, give them the address, pay for it, then e-mail the tracking number to the winning bidder.I always wait till I get home to confirm the item has been sent.
