Shipping within the UK but have a USPS (American) shipping label. Will I get paid?

[scrapperpistol]

Hey guys,

I have a question about my shipping label, and if it will cause me to not get paid as a seller.

I'm currently in the UK on a student visa. 

I used my American eBay account to sell something within the UK.

The printing label is a USPS label.

If I go ahead and ship the package through the Royal Mail (aka not attached to the UPC tracking bar code given in the label), will I run into problems?  

Will the buyer be able to receive the package and never claim it as "delivered"- therefore I don't get paid, etc.

Please help! 

I'm not sure if i should just refund the buyer and move on.

That should mean eBay was responsible for charging VAT on the sale price unless the buyer was a VAT registered business. If you look in the sales record does it show any VAT being charged to the buyer?

Can you add your own tracking number to the sales record?

Something that may have a bearing here is whether you listed the item on eBay.com or eBay.co.uk; I'm guessing it was the latter?

I don't think the Post Office will accept a parcel with a USPS label.  If they do, I reckon there's a good chance that RM will reject it and impose a £3.50 surcharge for delivery.

The Post Office definitely wouldn't accept a USPS label.  The OP would need to buy a new label and then update the tracking on the sales record if they can.
