Do follow the instructions for using the QR code to get a clerk to print the label. However, make sure they scan it as accepted, do not attach the label and put it in the outgoing bin. Keep the label's receipt which should have the tracking number on it. Even though using the QR code option uploads a tracking number to your sold item, you may need the receipt if something goes wrong with the USPS.

·3 weeks ago@mhers_79 Follow the directions the others have given you. You're going to be fine. You've got this. If you are going to make a go at this, the first piece of equipment I'd buy would be a printer. Specifcially I'd buy a thermal printer. You can get offbrand ones for $100 or less. They work just as good as a $300 name brand ones. Thermal printers do not use ink cartridges. You just buy the thermal labels for them. I think I pay about $10 for 500 labels. Again, I use offbrand stuff and it works well.
Until then, use the QR code. That will give you time to see how you like reselling and if it works for you.
Don't panic. You'll make a mistake eventually. That's okay. If you haven't done so, read over eBay's Money Back Guarantee until you understand it, paying special attention to returns. I see you do not accept returns, which is fine, but understand no returns does not mean no refunds. When in doubt about something or if you just need to make sure you are doing something correct, come make a post here and someone will be happy to help you. Good luck.

When you purchase the label, choose the QR code option.
Then you can go to the post office, show them the code on your phone and they print the label.
@bonanza125 You said, "You could have the carrier scan the QR code and have them print the label for you."
Are you saying your mail carrier is able to generate a label from a QR code?
I don't believe the carrier is able to do that? Have you had it done?
I've always had it done at the post office when I've run out of ink.

Selling on Ebay without a printer is going to be a hassle.
