I plan to start selling on eBay next month, the one thing I'm confused about really is some of the basics around shipping. I don't have a printer to print out anything, is that going to be a major problem? Also can I get label printing done and take care of tracking at my local post office? Also how much does it cost to get tracking usually on the average? I also don't have a scale, can the post office weigh something and tell me how much it'll cost? And do I have to pay for these little things with the post office to find out information?
tl;dr - shipping newfag here needing help on the basics.

In the beginning the easiest thing to do is just adjust your cost for what you think your shipping fees will be. then put
FREE SHIPPING in the subject title.
Drop by the USPS and mail it yourself.
Once you really get going you can buy a shipping label machine from USPS and some boxes in bulk from the web, then start having the packages picked up from your home.
GOOD LUCK SIR

Thank you for replying.
For starting out I'm probably going to be selling cards I've collected over the years.
I thought something light would be a good way to do things since I'm inexperienced with shipping.
And what about an apartment? I'm currently living in an apartment. I'd feel definitely unsafe trying to have them pick it up here unless I literally handed it to them.

He means having USPS pick the packages up for mailing, not having the customer pick it up.

I knew that, obviously I didn't mean a local pickup.
