Wired vs Wireless Label Printer Recommendations

[kendog2]

Hello,

I sell only a few items a month on eBay but hope to increase my volume soon. I've always cut out and taped the labels. To save time, I'm thinking that I should purchase a label printer. YouTube videos seem to feature and recommend only the latest wireless printers which are quite expensive. I print my labels from my desktop at home so I don't think a wireless printer would be of much benefit to me.  Please correct me if I'm wrong. Can anyone recommend a good label printer that costs less than $200? I'm open to buying used. TIA

Any cheap thermal printer will work. I would get one and stock up on sticky thermal paper. The paper is all you will need no ink or tape. Just peel and stick. Super fast and easy compared to an old fashioned printer and tape

If you are only shipping USPS, a low cost Dymo 450 (under $80) using the 99019 label works great.  Or if you also print UPS/FedEx, the larger Dymo 4XL using a 4"x6" label, which is also big enough for the packing slip.

NOTE: Do not buy a 550 or 5XL, they need special labels.

We use a Bluetooth thermo printer, well worth getting to know one.
