eBay

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on shipping from my work.

My ebay is a lot of getting rid of back orders and left over stock we no longer use. We get new stuff in a lot, so Fed ex comes every day.

Anyone have anytips to do my shipping on the ebay website so that those services can get it, instead of going through our shipping guys. I just want to take the load off of my coworkers if possible since they are shipping other products.

Thanks!

Sorry, I do not understand your English. If all you want to do is purchase FedEx shipping from eBay and hand it to FedEx drivers at your workplace, then this should be OK. If that is not what you mean, then it would help me if you could clarify two sentences:

This sentence makes no sense: "My ebay is a lot of getting rid of back orders and left over stock we no longer use."
Though I think I might know what you mean by this phrase, I am a little confused. Perhaps you can give an example of what you are trying to accomplish: "Anyone have anytips to do my shipping on the ebay website so that those services can get it"

Oh I'm sorry. What I meant to say is I use ebay to get rid of things for my company that they do not have time to deal with essentially. But asking my co-workers to ship things for me is creating more hassle for them. This will only get worse as it gets warmer out.

Thank you. I was just curious as to if someone has done that before.

If this is part of your job requirement (had a friend that did the same thing at a hardware store) then set up your listings with the service you wish to use, pack them up, print your labels, and give them to the delivery guy.

Why are you asking your co-workers to do this, unless it is their job too? Who are you wanting to do the shippng for you? Sorry, I may not understand your question.

If you have a shipping carrier (FedEx, UPS), coming to the place of business every day, then it is probable that your company gets a better rate on shipments than you can get when printing FedEx/UPS labels using eBay shipping.

If that's the case, ask the shipping dept. to hook you up with whatever they are using to generate labels, be it the carrier's desktop software or online account. Then when you list something on eBay, you list it using the shipping service (FedEx/UPS) you have, and let the eBay shipping calculator generate the pricing for the shipping cost paid by the Buyer (assuming you are using calculated shipping). Then when it sells and it's time to generate a label, you generate the label using the FedEx/UPS software/website and not eBay to get a better shipping price. Then you just upload the item's tracking number so eBay can see it was shipped and so the Buyer can track.

I think that you are asking if ebay has a fullfillment center where you can send all of your stock to so that they will mail it out for you? They don't have anything like that as far as I know.

Ah, yes ... that's what the OP was asking. Thank-you!

OP, the only service I'm aware of is eBay Valet ... they do listing, shipping, everything and send you a few pennies. Or, maybe you could find an industrious teen who isn't fixated on a glowing box.

Please tell us how you shipped the last items you sold.

One item says you ship by FedEx. Were you using your company's FedEx accout for that? I'm guessing you weren't supposed to be doing that and now are looking for help on shipping options.

You can get your own FedEx account, if that's your question.
