How do I print eBay shipping labels using ShipStation?
Once an order has been placed through on your eBay marketplace, it’s automatically imported into ShipStation, where you can generate and print a label for that order.
To create and print a label from the ‘Orders Tab’, select the orders you’d like to create and print a label for and click the ‘Create + Print label’ button. Click the ‘Print’ button to open the dropdown and select ‘Label’. The Label option will only be available if there is a label created for a shipment on the selected order.
This is just one way to print a label using ShipStation, for a more in-depth guide please refer to our Print Labels article.

Troubleshooting tips
This can happen if eBay does not send the order with the Ship To Address the first time.
We recommend waiting a few minutes and carrying out a manual refresh of the store. This should import the order into ShipStation with the Ship To Address.
This has happened because you have combined eBay orders in ShipStation, eBay only allows a tracking number to be added to one order.
We recommend that you don’t combine orders in ShipStation.
This is a security measure by eBay, which means when using third party integrations like ShipStation the authentication token will expire after a certain period of time.
To resolve this, please reconfigure the eBay store connection.
To fix this you can force a reconfigure with ShipStation by revoking an eBay token.
To do this, you’ll need to follow these steps. Sign in to ‘My eBay’, go to ‘My Account’, then ‘Sign in and security’ and click ‘Third-Party App Access’. Select ‘Show’, check the ‘Revoke this authorization’ box and click ‘Apply’.
