The eBay Shipping Center

eBay wants to help sellers with every aspect of their

eBay business. The eBay shipping center was

created to help ensure that you get your items to

your customers in a timely manner, in the most

efficient and economical way possible.

The eBay shipping center will help you print shipping

labels, help you figure shipping costs, and even help

you with International shipping. Shipping information

for all of the major shipping companies, including the

USPS can be found through the shipping center. You

can even purchase insurance for packages that will

be shipped by the USPS directly through the shipping

center.

One of the greatest features of the eBay Shipping

Center is the ability to order free co-branded shipping

boxes for USPS shipments. These boxes are

delivered to you, at no cost! This will cut a great deal

of your shipping expenses because you won’t have to

purchase your own boxes! There is also a great video

that will teach you how to save time and money on

your shipping, and whether you are a buyer or a

seller, you can easily track your packages through

the eBay shipping center as well.

Shipping eBay Items to Customers

If you stock the products that you sell on eBay, as

opposed to drop shipping, you probably spend a

great deal of time and money shipping items to your

customers. If you are a big success on eBay, this

could quickly become a problem. Organize your

shipping practices before they get out of control!

Keep stamps, packing materials, and boxes on

hand. You can have these items delivered to you,

which will save you a lot of time. Use large padded

envelopes instead of boxes whenever possible. These

envelopes are easier to handle, and usually cheaper to

purchase. Furthermore, they often weigh just a little

less than cardboard boxes do, which will save a bit of

money on the postage. Purchase stamps and packing

materials online. Not only will you save time, you will

save money as well.

If you ship a lot of packages, purchasing your own

set of postage scales will increase your efficiency –

the expense will more than pay for itself. Other items

you should invest in include a rubber stamp, label

printing software, a good printer, and labels. Either

use a stamp for the return label, or keep a large

stock of pre-printed return labels. All you need is a

plan and a little bit of organization to successfully
