Return Shipping Label for US Buyer's

[stickybeeapiary]

I have a return request from a US buyer. I have accepted the return and e-bay prompted me to provide a return shipping label. It would seem that there is no option for me to actually print this return label. I have called E-bay for help and they said I am unable to print a return shipping label on the site itself but could go directly to the post office and purchase a label, then take a picture of it to have the buyer reship it to me. How does that even work? Does anyone have a solution or experience to this issue? Any advice would be appreciated.

So how close are you to the nearest USPS office?

Because a Canada Post one will not be usable in the USA.

You have two choices.

Refund without a return.

Bad idea.

Or.

Send Money through the PP service for the return postage.

Hoping that the buyer uses it for postage and doesn't just keep it as a late discount.

Bad idea.

You'll need this

Go to the Shape and Size button for First Class Internation Parcel service, which is slightly cheaper

Don't forget about the Confirmation of Delivery

That sounds way too complicated. What I have done in the past is send the buyer the money to return the item through PayPal & add a note what it is for. Also it shoud have tracking so you have proof they sent it back.
