I like my Rollo. Got it manufacturer refurbed on eBay for $150 a year ago. I wasn't looking for a huge investment because I didn't know if I would sell for a long time to come and I was still relatively green .... Rollo had great reviews and i figured manufacturer refurb was a way to save $$$.
Absolute best part was I don't need manufacturer specific labels. I can use any label I want so I save by using the UPS labels. Also it's pretty easy to set up, use and maintain.
A label printer can be economical and practical for even a low volume seller. They are reliable, labels look professional, and keeps your regular printer free for other document printing. Plus they print all kinds of other labels as well.
For USPS only the small narrow width low cost printers like the Dymo 450, is all you need. For USPS, UPS, FedEx, you need a larger printer than does 4"x6" labels like the Dymo 4XL. Plus this size can be used for Packing Slips as well. They also make WiFi ones, but those can get expensive.
Besides the Dymo, there are options offered by Zebra, Rollo, Seiko, and others, but I prefer the Dymo for the cost and range of labels available and ease of set up. You can buy low cost labels right here on ebay, just look for an approved compatible from a USA seller. Cheap imports can be problematic.
One word of caution, do not buy the new Dymo 500 series, 550, or 5XL. They are not compatible with many label types.
I use the Zebra ZP450. It's very reliable. The toughest part is the initial setup. I had to watch a few Youtube videos to learn how to set it up and find out which settings work best.

I have two zebra LP2844’s - workhorses. Bought one of my mine refurbished on eBay - years ago, and it keeps going.
like @whorunbartertown @I’ll say that the setup isn’t simple if you are using a Chromebook - also had to watch a to it I’ve video for the driver installation.
regardless of what you choose, I do prefer the label printers that use a label spool. The flat labels are fine, but they take up a lot of desk space.
