Step 1: Click on print postage label

Go to your sold items section in your Paypal.co.uk account and click on the button "print postage label".

• Home collection: have your parcel collected directly at home, with no need to leave your house.

Then select the carrier and the service that fit your needs, we only work with the best carriers on the market such as Hermes, UPS, DPD and DHL.

It is important that you enter the correct weight and dimensions of your parcel. Please note, the underdeclaration of parcel weight or dimensions may result in a later surcharge: Charges in case of overweight or oversized parcels. 

Step 4: Protect your parcel
