1. you need a scale
2. when you log into paypal, there is an option on the right side, that says "multi-order shipping". click on it
3. a new window will come up (it takes a few seconds to load). you will get a dialog screen, and at the bottom, it will say "create order"
4. click on it. you then input how you want to ship (first class, priority), put the weight in, put in the address that you are shipping to, etc
5. the order you created will appear the the bottom of the page
6. then on the top left, click print (not the browser window print option, inside the browser window)
7. then in the middle click "pay and print"
8. it then prints out your label, which i just tape onto my package

Everyone needs to copy this and paste into WORD and then paste into the forum next time it is asked. This is concise and accurate and very helpful for the first time postage PayPal user.
Thanks to Jacoby...this answer is readily available!!

Hi, I got like 99.5 % of everything in Organize and ready to go. I filled out SELL and PRICE. Anyone who wants to help me get on my feet and well recognized, I will hook them up. I have a very large collection and spent a couple years getting them up and listed. Once I make a couple sales, I'll be ok from there. I haven't had a single offer yet and I am confused if there's something I am doing wrong. I want to make sure my credit card info is correct and all that fun stuff as well as making sure the general public can see me. Thank you.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong necessarily...but I can see a few reasons why you may not have made many sales:

1. People don't generally go just seek out random sellers/sales. Make a new thread on the appropriate sports board with some scans of a few of what might be the more 'popular' cards to garner some interest in what you have.

2. In general, the people on this site tend to be traders more often than buyers. That's not to say that people don't buy from time to time, but I'd venture a guess that 95% of the transactions on this site are card-card trades.

3. Probably your biggest obstacle is your pricing. Every card I saw in your org was priced at LEAST at book value and many of them multiple times the book value. Buyers generally look to pay cash values of anywhere from 30-60% of book value, unless a card is particularly hot or desirable.
