As an eBay seller I use a shipping scale every day! Its an important asset for a eBay seller, I bought one a few months ago and I can’t believe how helpful they are! I own a 75lb shipping scale, I bought from eBay for about $24.00 U.S. Dollars. There’s a wide range of shipping scales and theirs all kinds of prices for them. Theres 3lb, 5lb, 35lb, 50lb, 75lb, 150lb, and 350lb shipping scales! Now your wondering “what type of shipping scale should I get?” Well if your a ebay seller whos selling about anything you should get a 70 pound shipping scale, And if your a jewelry seller I recommend the 3 pound shipping scale since jewelry doesnt weigh that much.
Now, lets talk about where can you get the best deals for a shipping scale. I think the best deals are all online, but you can always go to your local Walmart, Target, Staples, ETC. And believe once you own a shipping scale, your shipping will be more fun and you’ll finish faster! And its really good to lower shipping prices so it can encourage more buyers!
Now lets talk about shipping labels, If you own a shipping scale you can print shipping labels (unless you use the USPS Flat Rate Products) Theres many places online that you can print shipping labels, first of all theres the Click-N-Ship program in the USPS website and then theres the shipping labels for everyone who sells on eBay (this is the same as the paypal shipping labels.) And then theres stamps.com (theres many websites that you can print shipping labels but these are the 3 websites I prefer the most) stamps, right now has a special offer its a 80 dollar value and it includes 25 dollars in postage, a free 5lb digital scale, and shipping labels. This program is free unless you use up the free 25 dollars of postage, you will then need to pay for the shipping labels you print. This program is free for the first 4 weeks then you have to pay a flat price of $15.99 plus the shipping labels you print. And you can cancel anytime too!!! Plus one of the reasons I prefer this program is that you can personalize your shipping labes such as you can include you a a message, a logo, and much more. Plus they include shipping discounts!! Now lets talk about how the eBay shipping labels. This program is free for anybody who sells on ebay and needs to print a shipping label for anything there customers buy on eBay!! Now lets talk about the Click-N-Ship program, this program is free you just need to pay for the shipping labels.
Now lets talk about what type of shipping labels you will need to use these programs, first of all you can use any type of material paper, adhesive labels, and more!! As for me I just use normal paper and stick the shipping label in the package with some tape.
Thank you and take care
