Using Ebay Shipping Supplies

As a Ebay seller, Is it okay to use ebay shipping supplies like ebay packaging tapes, tissues, boxes, ebay logo stickers etc. when delivering ordered products?

Do people in Sri Lanka use things besides packaging tapes, tissues, boxes, etc. to deliver orders? Maybe I don't understand the question.

I'll let you figure that one out on your own.

The questions are getting much better, detailed and logical.  Hopefully, you did not pay a fortune for your question?

 

Each quarter, depending on your Store subscription, minus Starter store, you're given a shipping materials allowance towards logo'd supplies.

 

We sell on more than 1 site, so need to use the appropriate box per site if possible or cover the logos.

 

Your question is interesting, as I have no idea what else we would use the boxes/supplies for?

 

Yes, you would use them to ship your orders.

 

(PS, hope you did not spend your online budget to secure this question to post here.  Posting here is free.  Next time, just say Hello, wIsh to sell on e-Bay).

 

Take care, stay safe.

A clear pattern is emerging in the posts from the distant and mysterious land.  Many of them have a feedback score around (10) or so but all of the feedback is more than a year old for buying.

 

What on earth is going on over there?  Yes, we can use ebay shipping supplies to ship products sold on ebay that will be shipped by ships in ship-shape condition.

You would need to get set up with a forwarding provider since it looks like those ebay shipping supplies can only be shipped within the United States. Having a forwarder would probably increase the cost of the supplies to the point where it might not even be cost effective to use them.

" it looks like those ebay shipping supplies can only be shipped within the United States."

eBay shipping supplies have no such constraint. You might be thinking of the free Priority Mail supplies that are available through USPS, but even those can be used for international shipping through USPS.

I'm not saying the supplies can't be used to ship ... I'm saying that seller that provides those supplies only ships to the United States. At least that is what I saw when I looked at some of their listings this morning.

The first listing that I checked offers shipping to dozens of countries:

Ummmm, yes.  That's what they are for.  What did you think they were for?

Is this a real question?

Maybe they are confused because free shipping is only in the US.  All other countries require paid shipping. 

Bottom line is that the supplies can be used for shipping all over the world and they can be bought in pretty much every country but they are only shipped free in the US.

Yes you can use ebay shipping supplies to mail packages.   Ask ebay and they will send them to you (Like Jimmy Walker says)  ITS FREE.

I wonder if that change is recent.  I hadn't looked like lately but in the past, that ebay ID would show 0 results when I looked with a Canadian address.  

Canadians can buy from  ebayshippingsuppliesCanada which ships only within Canada and is in $C  and only has 40+ items.   It  would definitely cost us more buying from the US site once the exchange rate and GSP shipping was taken into account.
