How to handle shipping labels?

Haidukken · #1 01-05-2016

Last time anybody mentioned anything about shipping documents/labels was back in 1993, so I thought I'd make a new thread just to get some thoughts on the matter.

I'm in a middle of expanding my little military operation here and that means I will move all the stock that I currently have into a storage unit/warehouse solution and it'll look lovely and organized- I can't wait.

This means that I need to solve couple of key issues:

1)How to practically and efficiently print shipping labels direct to a printer in the warehouse unit?

I can easily see that Google has some document printing solution that will be probably a good solution for my remote printing needs- I can stick my toes in the sand somewhere nice, whilst the little helper sits here in cold England.
BUT, whats the best way to obtain shipping labels for each of my accounts and whats the best format to have them in?

Logic tells me:
I could log into each mailbox, take the Paypal notification email and print it to the printer- That means I'd need to manually send each shipping labels/Paypal email to my printer.

Questions is:
Is there a way to extract bulk shipping labels via Paypal or eBay, where the person who is in charge of my shipping can clearly see the listing title(For identification) and address of the item that was just sold?

Anybody with any experience or ideas, or perhaps your own solutions to the "problem"... I'm all ears.

So...how I handle this is:
I forward all notifications of payment to a master shipping email. The person shipping, does the shipping, prints labels etc...using a third party system, not ebay or paypal.

They then reply to that email with tracking. I or whoever then loads the tracking number to ebay.

Thats pretty much what I had in mind as well- Seems like so basic that I was wondering if there are any other ways of doing it.
I guess sometimes basic is fine.
