How to Pay later on Ebay when purchasing a shipping label?

When starting to sell on eBay, your payments may be held for up to 21 days as a part of our Funds Availability Policy. During this time, you can use some of your pending payment to pay for shipment and get your business up and running.

To Qualify
  • You must have a PayPal account set up for your label payments.
  • You need to select USPS Domestic or First Class International as your shipping option.
  • The total cost of the order is less than $50, and the shipping cost is $15 (or less).
  • The total cost of the order is more than $50 and the shipping cost no more than 30% of the order.
Note: If the cost of shipping is more than the total payment for the transaction you won’t be able to use the held funds to fund your label.
