I'm looking for office paper that can go in my printer, but instead of it just being regular paper, I'm looking for the kind that has three to ten peel-off things on them, that can be used for mailing labels.  See, I'm a business management major in college, with hopes of starting an Ebay store.  Instead of hand-writing the shipping labels, I want to print the labels on Paypal, so I won't have to wait in line at the Post Office; I can just drop the sold items in the drop box in the middle of the night.  However, I want to be able just peel off the label like a child's sticker and slap it on the envelope, so save me money and time on scotch tape, and therefore, pass the savings on to my customers.

 But when I do a search for "shipping label paper," I only get something that looks like a tape gun, which is the exact opposite of what I wanted, because even though it's paper, I can't put it through the printer.

What should I type in to get what I want?

Ummmm. search the post offices and paypals site, I buy them all the time, only one or two labels per page though, intended for packages.

Also for envelopes, go outside, I know the sun hurts your eyes but you can get them at wallmart or your local officamax.

cincyguy:

is something like this what you're looking for? maybe you could even find them bigger if ya looked hard enough but 3X4 is a pretty decent sized label

When it says that there are 150, does that mean that there are 150 sheets with 6 labels each, or 25 sheets with 6 labels each?

Hold on a second.  I found a pack of 250 labels for $7.98 at Wal-Mart.  6" x 9" bubble mailers cost $51.93 (including shipping) when I buy 250 of them at one time (according to http://www.fastpack.net/Bubble-Mailers---Envelopes-Our-Brand-Kraft-Bubble-Mailers/Case_of_250_No._0_6X9_Our_Brand_Self_Seal_Bubble_Mailers).  One single cartidge of black ink costs $20.  That means that, for 250 purchases, I'm spending about $0.63 per purchase just getting it ready to be shipped.  Combined with the $1.73 postage, that's $2.36 S&H.

However, I could spend one dollar on a pack of 150 sheets of college rule looseleaf paper.  There are ten lines in a shipping label (four for the return address, four for the mailing address, and two for double-spaces after the addresses), so a 150-pack of college rule can give me 450 shipping labels.

I could spend three dollars on three bags of 10 ink pens, and ten dollars on ten rolls of scotch tape, and handwrite the shipping labels.  The evenlopes are still $103.86 due to me buying 500 of them, so add $14 +  $1.09 sales tax to that, and that's $118.09 for 450 shipments, or 26.25 cents per shipment, plus $1.73 for the postage, that makes it and even steven $2 S&H.

Am I confused about something?

I think that makes it an even $2 for shipping, not handling. Handling is your hourly wage to get the packages ready and to the courier.
