Paid for the postage and sent the parcel before finding out about ebay labelling service.

This is my first experience of a seller on Ebay. Have got one confusion about labelling and postage.

When I got the payment for my item, the next morning I packed and labelled the parcel, went to the Post office and sent it  at my expence. Later at home, I found out about the labelling service, which automatically printed a label and put a tracking number. However I made it void since I had already paid and sent the parcel. My worry is about the tracking and checking in that the item has been dispatched and delivered. Is it possible to do it manually putting manually the tracking number that I have got from the Post Office slip?

You dont have to use ebays Packlink 

In fact i would never use it as it is so much better just to take to the post office and get

the stamp there.

You can add the tracking or 16 digit code from your post office receipt to the item in your Sold section where it says Add tracking

Always do that as soon as you have posted it and keep your receipts for at least one year in case of chargebacks

Thank you for your answer. I found it straightforward and very convenient going to Post office-they measured, weighed and fairly charged for the Postage, whereas Ebay's postage offers looked offers looked quite confusing. It's good to know that I don't have to use ebay's Packlink. Thanks also for telling me how I can manually add the tracking number. Feel relieved now.

First few sales are always a bit nerve racking. You will soon get the hang of it. I agree the Post office is best
