Creating shipping labels and packing slips on eBay
You can create shipping labels and packing slips on eBay and PayPal when you ship by Canada Post and UPS and print one label at a time.
Benefits of creating shippings labels on eBay
Here's how printing labels and packing slips on eBay can save you time and effort:
When you include shipping information in your listing, the shipping and item information are pre-filled on the shipping label.
You can insure the package. You'll see the insurance confirmation on your seller's receipt and the shipping label.
Tracking or Delivery Confirmation information is automatically uploaded to eBay. You can check the shipping status of your shipped items in the Sold section of My eBay. Your buyers can also check the shipping status of packages from My eBay, so you’ll receive fewer emails from buyers.
If you use free pickup with UPS, you can save a trip to the post office—otherwise, you can just drop off your package at the post office counter instead of standing in line.
It's free. You pay only for the cost of shipping.

Getting the package to the post office
If you are shipping your package using a Canada Post service, after affixing the label to your package, you can drop it off at any one of their 6,500 Post Offices across Canada, or in any street letterbox (where size permits).
If you are using a UPS shipping service, UPS On-Call Pickup® Service gives you the convenience of having your shipment picked up at your home or office simply by scheduling your pickup via UPS.com or by calling 1-800-Pick-UPS®. You can also drop the package off at one of the many UPS drop off locations.
Checking shipping status

Note: Not all shipping services are trackable. If the shipping service is non-trackable, the link in My eBay may only inform you of the date the label was printed.
