Can I buy just a shipping label on ebay for something sold elsewhere

I'd like to know if I can buy shipping labels through eBay for stuff that I sell elsewhere and receive a shipping discount?

You're probably not supposed to do that, but it can be done.

If you mean buying the label from another buyer's transaction and changing the address, that's a spectacularly bad idea. It's a fast way to find yourself in hot water and refunding the a buyer on an item not received claim when tracking confirms delivery to a different location. Best case scenario you're creating confusion for the buyer as they will get automatic email alerts about an item being delivered that wasn't delivered.

So yeah, you can technically do it, but nobody that cares about their $ or their buyers should ever attempt it.

And there's no need for it when it's so easy to get discounted labels elsewhere.

As noted, you have to purchase your shipping label elsewhere. Discounted rates are available through other online sources such as Pirateship. You can get discounted rates for postage using "Enhanced" Click-N-Ship at usps.com.
