I sold a book on Amazon.com..... now how do I ship it?

Question

this is the first thing I've sold on amazon.... and I have no idea on how to ship the item. It appears that Amazon has taken its chunk out for shipping and their service fee.

Now where do I go to print the shipping label since it's already been paid for?

Answer 1

On your seller account page on Amazon, you will find a link "view your orders".  Clicking on that link will take you to the "manage orders" page.  On that page on the row where your sale is listed there is a link for "print packing slip".  At the top of the "packing slip" is the name and address of your customer.  Cut the name and address off and attach it to your packaged book with clear package tape.  Put the rest of the packing slip in with your book.  If the package is under 13 ounces you can put stamps on it for the required postage and put in the package drop, but if over 13 ounces you must print a label or take it to the postoffice counter.  "Media mail" is usually the cheapest postage ($2.23 for up to one pound) for shipping books.  If you use stamps, print "Media Mail" clearly on your package.  Paypal has a good postage label print feature (free except for the cost of the postage) and there are other subscription services for printing labels.  The post office "Click N Ship" only permits priority or express postage.  The link below is an article that talks further about packing and shipping books sold online and more info about the paypal option.
