I need some help, for I am a n00b at ebay. I recieved payment for some of my auctions, and I'm at the point where I should print shipping labels? Do I have to do that, or can I just go to the post office and hand-write the address?

You can certainly do that, Goggle.

Question for you experienced eBayers--is it normal to take a week to put an item in the mail? I won an auction on December 1, didn't hear anything from my seller until she emailed me on December 9 to say that it's "on its way", then I finally got it today. The postmark is December 8, so she waited an entire week to put it in the mail, and didn't respond to my emails earlier in the week because "they didn't get forwarded to [her] email account." So I'm really pissed about that, but on the other hand, the item is in perfect condition, new in package, and I paid about half of retail for it, so I'm happy with the item itself. I'm just pissed about the total lack of communication for a week and the extremely slow shipping. So what kind of feedback do I leave?

I might go with a neutral, but be prepared for the possibility of her leaving something hateful on your feedback. I am experiencing the same thing right now, thing, and I am debating whether I want to risk my 100 percent! I bought a weeble set for LilB and when I picked up the box it came in, it fell APART. I did not have to open anything to pull out the weebles, that is how rickity it was. And the packing was terrible, everything was rolling around in the box. Nothing was damaged but that was more luck than anything.

When I ran into that (I bought an item that the company took three weeks to get around to shipping), I left positive feedback and noted that shipping took a long time. The shipping was free, so it was a case of getting what I paid for.

Well, I didn't get free shipping. I'm leaning towards leaving positive feedback (because I am thrilled with the item--a brand new in package baby wrap for half of retail in a Christmasy color) with a note about slow shipping and lack of communication. I think I'm also going to send her an email--she's a relatively new eBayer and I want to tell her that holding onto an item for a week is unacceptable.
My feedback number is only in the 20s, so I don't want to risk a less than perfect feedback score. Which sucks--I shouldn't have to worry about that. I paid her 15 minutes after the auction ended, and have been nothing but polite in my (unanswered) emails to her.

Maybe you guys can help me out.
Ok, a few years ago I ordered things from eBay, so I know I've done it before. However, now, I tried to order some samples of Kinerase under eye cream and I'm stuck at the PayPal part. I have a PayPal account but I don't know how to either add money to it or what the next step is to complete my purchase. I am dumb.
Help!
Forget it, I figured it out.

I'm probably going to be using Ebay as a side income. I've done that on and off for the past few years. The feedback thing...yikes. Yeah, you can't depend on 100%. While I still had a really low number of transactions on one of my newer accounts, I had some disputes. Now, you know that if you only have 10 transactions or so, 2 negs can kill you. Well, yeah. So, now I'm at around 93%. However, I still sell stuff, and quickly, in many instances. I'm also the world's slowest shipper sometimes (I know, I know), but I make certain to pick the "10 business days" thing just to make certain that people know. Most of my customers are Canadian, so I run into a lot of problems with people not giving me thier danged phone numbers for customs. Gaaah. Then, I have to use that member info form, and that's soooo annoying. It may be all the retail experience talking, but I find Ebay to be pretty danged cool. I mean, people can be stupid like woah, but whatever. I can tell if they're going to be dumb, so I get thier money and ship thier item as quickly as possible. I know that the items (clothing) are in excellent shape, and that's that. I refuse to listen to people's crap, and I make it sound that way in my auctions. Therefore, I don't get a lot of problems. There's a bunch of stuff I need to get out and relist, actually. Lazy me

After a month of bitching at Paypal, my eBay gift certificate just decided to work today, completely out of the blue. Yay?

I'm probably going to be using Ebay as a side income. I've done that on and off for the past few years. That's what I've been doing. I had a ton of crap lying around my house and then got into visiting thrift stores for books. There is a lot of money that can be made in selling books to people on Ebay and Half. Our local thrift store charges .15 cents a paperback and .50 for hardback and I could turn a (small) profit on each sell. Then I started branching out and found that a lot of relatives had stuff they were dying to sell. I listed things for my mother, FIL, SIL and grandmother and kept a percentage for myself. Everyone was happy and I made a nice little side income. For big items like furniture I listed it on Craigslist and that worked out really well. I also got more money out of it because there were no fees to take out. On Sunday I picked up some inventory from my family. Now I have numerous Radko ornaments and a lot of VHS & books to photograph and list.
