I have not been selling in a long time and just put an item up for sale. The insane shipping costs make selling online hard as you must ask crazy prices for your gear if you sell shipped. This latest item I sold plus shipping and I have had a couple guys who say they have volume shipping accounts and want to send me the shipping label. I have a couple concerns. Will Paypal offer protection if you dont get shipping from their site and I read about danger of buyer changing delivery address once its shipped if they produce label allowing an item not received issue. Am I being too cautios? I was scammed here of about $1000 as were several others by a very clever scammer.

Buyer wants to send his own shipping label
Re: Buyer wants to send his own shipping label
If you have spoken with the guy buying your doodad, he doesn't seem flakey, shipping is to his FCC address, and he makes it clear in PayPal communication that purchase is FOB origin and that he is sending a shipping label, you'll be safe. Get a receipt from the shipper or stand in line to make sure tracking number is scanned.
PayPal - Re: Buyer wants to send his own shipping label
Good morning,
PayPal does NOT REQUIRE a tracking number or label to be one where they made a commission on the shipping label.
There's an optional place to enter that, but buying a label through them is NOT a requirement.
Been doing that sort of thing for many years.
Probably OK if label is accepted by post office or shipping company, and one way to get them to pay for shipping/postage.
Usually can be emailed to you as a PDF file. Good to keep/print a copy for your records.
Biggie there is ship date which is required by the post office and most other places and maybe a phone number.
Tip: Most all Walgreens drug stores are drop off locations for FedEx.
Have fun with that radio stuff!
