Printing Labels Stealth
 

Is it safe to print a label with my usual printer while using a stealth account or will ebay be able to detect me somehow. My laptop is tethered to my phone so the IP is fresh but the printer is on the usual home IP.

Ebay can't "detect" you via your Printer, Scanner, or Pet.

Ok, so printing from my wireless printer is fine than? Sorry if I sound paranoid!

Correct, you can print from any Printer you wish to use.

Ok, so for some reason I am having trouble printing my labels while tethered to my phone. If I email myself the Pitney-Bowes link to the labels and then print from my regular non-stealth IP, there is no way for ebay to link me that way either? Again, all apologies if I sound too paranoid!

Is your printer wireless? that would be a reason why it wouldn't work if your using tethering as your printer would only work if your using the same Wifi connection (if thats how you have things setup).

A workaround would be to use a cable connecting PC to printer, so you dont have to faff about with all the emailing yourself links etc.,

All of this additional task will consume time, and as you expand your eBay business it will become a burden. Figure out ways to become efficient whilst your small, so growing your business doesn't become a hindrance later. ;)

Ok, that is a sound idea! Would the emailed labels work this time though as I need to ship the items today and I will need to purchase a cord when I get out of work tonight

With any inkjet printer, the choice of paper is the single greatest factor affecting print quality. In order to get the highest quality, you need to use inkjet-compatible paper and labels. The labels I recommended will give you the highest level of photo quality, are extremely durable and tear resistant, and are very resistant to oil and water. Plain paper can be used with any inkjet printer, but quality will suffer severely.
