Pre paid postage labels

i have recently started selling but Pre-paid postage lavels eat into my profits. As i am  also dropshipping it does not make sense to get charged for a psotage label, is there any way to avoid being charged for a postage label?

As you are drop shipping you need a business account on eBay then Simple Delivery wont apply.

You will have listing and final fees to pay the same as any business seller

Yes,  there is.

 

You are selling all Brand New items  but on a Private account.  A Private account is for selling unwanted,  second hand used items such as a garage / attic / wardrobe clear out.

 

You are selling all Brand new items this means you need a Business account,  then you'll not have to use Simple Delivery labels.

 

This explains how you can change to a correctly  registered account :

 

  1. Go to Account settings in My eBay.
  2. Select Personal information
  3. Select Edit next to Account type. You may be asked to sign in again.
  4. Select Confirm to upgrade to a Business account.
  5. Specify whether you operate your business as a legal entity or as a sole proprietor and select Continue.
  6. On the following page, enter your business information such as name, contact information, and returns policy. Then select Save.

Probably best to use a PC / laptop for this,  and not the app or mobile browser.  Chrome seems to work best on eBay.
