quick C&S question

joz*garage — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:39:41 GMT

this might sound a bit dumb

but, i gotta ask

i filled out my first item and discovered theres no area to fill out - send to - buyers details on the satchel

so im guessing after i pop it in a post box - at AP they'll know where to send it just from the product code?

btw crikey, i noticed in 'my ebay' that it does automatically get marked as sent

No Joz

When you were in C&S, you should have seen the option to import items from eBay? If you clicked that, it imports the buyers info automatically.

Since you say the item was marked as sent, you must have imported. Right?

Noo, I read that wrong! Ignore all that.

Joz, you needed to print out the sending slip which pops into the clear sleeve on an eBay C&S satchel. AP then scans the barcode on that printed slip.

Hi am1, ive still got that page up 'print documents'

I think the only thing you can do is write the address onto a piece of paper that fits into the clear sleeve.

so a barcode for AP to scan isnt necessary hey?

Aus Post may not be able to process it without the barcode. I've never used C & S but it seems you need to use a printer for it.

deja, how do you seal that sleeve btw?

Re: quick C&S question

*new2vintage — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:13:36 GMT

Wide tape should seal it well enough. If you can't get enough information here check at your post office.

Joz, if you don't have a printer, I would write down the barcode number and take it, with the buyers details and your satchel to AP in the morning and explain you didn't realise you needed a printer.

They should print it off for you.

need a printer for it? man, what a hassle

Re: quick C&S question

*new2vintage — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:17:03 GMT

That's one reason why I don't want to use C & S - the cost of ink plus you still need to go to the post office anyway.

There's a thin plastic strip you pull off and then press down to seal. But I wouldn't worry about sealing it because you'll need to get the PO to print out the slip for you. They'll need to put the slip in there.

BTW, they can manually input the barcode number. Don't let them tell you they can't.

cheers am1, will do

but i need to click the "print selected' button on the print document page to get the barcode, yeah?

Well, actually it's pretty cheap.

I have a big, business type printer which is expensive for ink, so I purchased a cheap printer ($10, eBay of course), and the ink is $16 (eBay again) for 10 cartridges. Cheap as chips and SO convenient.

No PO needed either. You print out the slip, pop it straight into any red post box (assuming your closest isn't at the post office).

arnl7178 — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:21:01 GMT

Yes, click until you can see the actual slip. When you can, you'll see the barcode. You might need to magnify it, but there's an option there to do that.

cool

am1, could you PM me the seller you bought your printer and ink cartridges from on ebay? & do they always have 'em in stock?

Re: quick C&S question

arnl7178 — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:26:49 GMT

I have to get some sleep but Joz, if you get stuck, or can't figure it out, the easiest solution is to contact C&S, and explain the situation. They will refund your postage money back into your account, and then just post your item like normal at the PO tomorrow.

Good luck.
