how do I ship multiple boxes with only one label from eBay?

Question

I have four boxes to ship for a surround sound system, and I’m not able to stick them all in one box. The items are too large. Can I get multiple labels from eBay?

ebay is not designed for shipping in multiple boxes. But here is what most sellers have found that works:

Weigh and measure all the packages.

When you print your labels via ebay, print the label for the first box. Then select the option to PRINT ANOTHER LABEL changing the weight/dimensions as needed. ebay allows you to print up to 5 labels per transaction. If you need more, use a program such as pirateship.com .

@tondcar_0 ,

eBay makes shipping multiple boxes for 1 listing, using one tracking number very hard to do.

Especially, for that type of item. The first issue is that the boxes are part of one purchase. The second issue is the boxes probably not not all the same size and weight, so the cost for each box is not the same requiring a separate label for each box. eBay will only let you add one tracking number to the order and if you send the buyer the other numbers in a message they will not accept them if a buyer claimed those boxes were not received.

Honestly, I would only list the system as Local Pickup only.
