How to print your Sendle label directly from your eBay account
As an eBay customer, you can print your parcel labels directly from your eBay dashboard – no need to log in to the Sendle dashboard.
eBay Printer-Free
No printer? No problem! You can now send your eBay parcels with Sendle without having to print a label. This is for domestic labels bought directly through the eBay label platform with ‘Printer-Free’ as the chosen collection method and parcels booked for pickup with Sendle’s domestic service. We've put everything you need to know over here.
How to do Sendle pickup:
- Select the pickup option when creating your label within eBay (you’ll be able to select up to three days in the future).
- Package your parcel sufficiently (here’s some guidance on packaging).
- Print the label in its original form – we can’t accept handwritten labels – and stick it on the parcel (the pickup date will be on here too). For more info about labelling your parcel, jump over here.
- Have the parcel ready for the pickup driver on the selected pickup date (the driver will be there anytime between 8am and 6pm, unfortunately we can’t set a time and the driver can’t call in advance).
How to do Sendle drop off:
- Select the drop off option when creating your label with eBay (drop off is not available for 250g parcels).
- Package your parcel sufficiently (here’s some guidance on packaging).
- Print the label in its original form – we can’t accept handwritten labels and you can’t print it at the drop off location – and stick it on the parcel (the pickup date will be on here too). For more info about labelling your parcel, jump over here.
- You can drop off your parcels anywhere in our national dropoff network. These are specific locations powered by HUBBED and can include locations like: BP petrol stations, news agencies and pharmacies, many are open 24/7.
Keep in mind: you can’t drop off a parcel that has been booked for pickup. Just cancel the original label before midnight the day before and rebook with the drop off option (and vice versa).
We’ve also included lots more information about pickup, drop off and delivery here.
When your parcel is traveling
How can I track a parcel I’m sending or receiving?
When booking via eBay’s Label Platform, tracking details are automatically updated in your eBay order.
What if there was no pickup or delivery scan?
If the pick-up or delivery scan is missing, Sendle will conduct a thorough investigation to confirm the pick-up and delivery date. Sendle may contact the receiver of the parcel to verify the delivery date.
What happens if my parcel is returned to sender after I have dropped it off?
The parcel will be returned to the sender address on the label.
Will I receive a confirmation when I drop off my parcel?
Your Sendle tracking page will update shortly after your parcel is scanned at the drop off location.
