Mentor1 month agoCan you get it finished and shipped within the next 24 hours? If so, print the label today and ship it tomorrow.

Just get it finished up and then physically shipped by tomorrow.
Maybe make two so you are ahead of the game on the next one?

In addition to the great advice from @jacbarcollectibles and @momtoabeautifuldaughter about shipping on time, here's what to do about your label.
Here's how to cancel (or void) an unused shipping label you purchased on eBay:
- Go to Manage shipping labels: https://www.ebay.com/ship/labels/my-ebay
- Find the item you'd like to cancel the shipping label for, then from the Actions column, select CANCEL.
- Choose your reason for canceling the label.
- Select Cancel shipping label.
You have 28 days to cancel a label. The refund will come about 21 days after you cancel.
Then, you can print another label when your product is ready to ship
1) Go to the order https://www.ebay.com/mys/sold
2) Select View Order Details, then Get Another Label <<==
3) Enter the correct weight and dimensions for your package and select Shipping Method and the correct label will print.

Mentor1 month agoYou set the handling time for your listing so if you don't meet that you get a shipping defect.

Mentor1 month agoeBay expects you to ship within your stated handling time. This cannot be changed once the item is purchased. The time limit started once payment was made. If you do not ship within your handling time you will receive a shipping defect on your accouunt.
