Mentor2 years ago@yagottahavebooks I have no idea what you mean by "blind shipping" an order.
You MUST ship to the address that is provided on the checkout page or you lose seller protection for tracking proof of delivery.
Are you referring to using Drop shipping? eBay has strict rules on drop shipping. You can not buy an item on another site and have the company ship to your buyer.
You can only ship from WHOLESALE suppliers and you are still 100% responsible for the item arriving safely, on time, and as described, NOT your supplier.
Here's more on eBay's policy>

OP2 years agoBuyer is requesting blind shipping with no invoice, mention of eBay or buyer cost. I'm not sure if he is referring to the shipping label or inside the package? I have contacted him regarding this. I believe the shipping address is his normal eBay address. Just want to make sure I'm not doing something against eBay policy.

Mentor2 years ago@yagottahavebooks It sounds like the buyer is using you to send the item to another person either as a gift or reselling.
I NEVER include any packing slips or invoices.
The shipping label will say eBay on it if you buy the label from eBay.
You could buy the label from Pirateship.com if you wish, they have the same discounted rates as eBay.
EDIT TO ADD>>> If this is on an expensive item that totals $750 or more I would NOT comply. You MUST have a signature on delivery for proof the item was delivered and so your funds will be released. Fund holds are normal for new sellers especially on high priced items and can be up to 30 days.
