How am I expected to print a shipping label if I don't own a printer?

Use a computer for free at the public library.  Printouts are 10¢ a page, at my library at least.  You could also rent a computer at a FedEx office and use their printer but it costs more.  There are other options but I think those are the best two.

Hi @denmcgr_89  Nobody's making you print a shipping label.  You're free to hand write your label.  In order to have the seller protections, however, your package must have tracking.  You'll get that when you take your package to the post office to buy postage and mail it.  They'll scan it in and give you a receipt with the tracking number on it, if you send by a method like Priority that has tracking, then when you get home, you upload the tracking number onto the item in your Seller Hub and mark the item shipped.  But lots of sellers of small, inexpensive items ship without tracking, willing to take the risk of losing an item not received complaint.  You'll have to decide what method best suits your business model.  Good luck!

There’s an option, on the print label page, to download a QR code.  The post office scans the code and prints out a label for you.  There’s no additional charge for doing that.

Go to the section on this Help page on "QR code shipping".

It explains how to get the QR code and how to use it:

Hi @ferncliff-39 @glorybells  Have either of you used the QR code yourselves?  I haven't because I don't trust it to work.  No offense eBay, but .... I envision I'd get to the post office and their printer would be broken, or they couldn't read the QR, or something else would go amiss and there I'd be with my little package in hand.  Without some positive reports, I'd prefer @gosimus suggestion to print at Fed Ex.  Have you used it and had it perform as advertised?  Good Luck!

@tenbigdogs ,

 I use the QR code all the time.  It’s very convenient and I’ve never had any problems.
