creating EBAY postage labels

[mayward]

EBAY Acccount A with the right dispatch address and B with the random address. If I am going to load account B buyers information and create buyers (from account B) postage labels from account A , will A and B got linked?

Thanks

is it really necessary?
no matter what answer I get in here, I would not risk 2 accounts for something like "postage labels"



(A+B)=*link*

So how to solve this problem? I mean if you create postage labels from stealth accounts with random address,but buyer may return the item to this address without contacting, the item will be lost.

Thanks

Well not really familiar with this kind of issues but if you have a look around the forum you could find something:

You provide separate return address without need to link the accounts together

I've been including with my parcel a sticky label with return (my real) address written on it.
I suspect there is little chance that the customer will realise the address is different to my eBay account address, but of course it could cause problems if they do.

Not if they know it's your return depot for authorised returns......

I used to send my real address in an eBay message (most people ask for the address to return an item they don't seem to have twigged on that the business address is in the listing) but that just made me nervous. I figured if there was a problem and eBay read my messages they would spot a different (banned) address.

That is risky, very risky to put that in a message.

User here had horrible troubles with that. Buyers got in touch with ebay to 'check'

[luverlyjuberly]

I stopped the messages about six months ago but thanks for the heads up. I'll know for future reference it is a definite no-no.

Luckily my business address exists - it's a relatives address - so I can have returns sent there, I just find it more convenient to have returns come to me.

theres lots of people on ebay selling 1000 labels printed with ebay return addresses
and up to 4 lines for a £5.00

[mayward]

Well, if postage labels with different return/dispatch addresses, will ROYAL MAIL refused to accept these parcels ? I am worried that ROYAL Mail will find the different return address and question me. Am I supposed to tell them that I own/rent like 4 or 5 or 6 ... different places

It is professional to have a separate return address but avoid putting more info into eB messages in case an agent decides to read them...like GB indicated

Print the ebay label to a pdf file.
edit the pdf file using something similar to Pdffil
print new pdf label.

its good practice to print ebay and paypal postage labels to pdf files, and then print them from the pdf file so that you can reprint them.

alternativley when printed simply cut out the return address from the label and stick on a a suitable return address. the return addres on the label is mainly for the post office in case anything goes wrong.

Has anyone tried those new lockers like myByBox or the Click and Collect?

I noticed one in my local garage and they are designed for people that can't sit in all day waiting for parcels.

Where is Click & Collect InPost Parcel Lockers?

Anyone used them or see any issues adding them as a return address to ebay and paypal?
