After the buyer has paid, you can purchase your shipping label on eBay.
Buying the label on eBay is cheaper than buying a label at the USPS counter.

If your buyer has actually paid, eBay will prompt you to Get A Label
If eBay isn't telling you to ship, then the buyer *has not* paid
Have you sold an item?

Sandwich it several layers of corrugated cardboard. Run the corrugated ridges perpendicular of each other to strengthen it.
Then you need to weigh and measure it.
Round up on the weight
Round up on the measurements (measure the longest point of each side.
You will pay for the shipping label.
It appears the listing charged the buyer a nominal amount for shipping, it's doubtful that will cover the cost of the label.
