If the seller clicks on “Print Shipping Label”, the seller will be taken to a 3rd party site – iloxx - to purchase and print the shipping label for the respective transaction. Once the shipping label is printed, iloxx will post back a response indicating that shipping label was printed along with additional shipment information (e.g., delivery confirmation/tracking numbers). |
