OfferUp Shipping Label Maker — Free for Sellers

OfferUp supports both local pickup and shipped sales, and for shipped transactions they provide prepaid USPS labels through their platform. However, OfferUp sellers often cross-list the same items on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or other platforms — and when a cross-listed item sells, you're on your own for the label. Our tool makes creating that label instant. Enter the buyer's address, add the OfferUp or order reference, choose your carrier, and print a professional label in any format. USPS is usually the best choice for typical OfferUp items (electronics, clothing, home goods under 20 lbs), but for larger or heavier items UPS or FedEx Ground may be more economical. Our tool formats labels for all major carriers, so you have complete flexibility regardless of where your item sold.

Tips for OfferUp Sellers

  • For shipped OfferUp sales, OfferUp already provides a prepaid USPS label — use our tool only when you're shipping a cross-listed item sold outside OfferUp
  • Include the buyer's name and the item description in the reference field to stay organized if you're shipping multiple items at once
  • Electronics and fragile collectibles should use the FRAGILE marking option — enable it in our tool before printing
  • For large furniture or appliance sales, check USPS Retail Ground or UPS Ground rates — both handle packages up to 70 lbs

Who this is for

  • OfferUp sellers who cross-list items on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or Mercari and need a label when a sale happens off OfferUp
  • Sellers shipping electronics, collectibles, or fragile goods who want FRAGILE marking on their labels
  • Local OfferUp sellers who occasionally ship nationally and need a quick label solution without a full shipping account
  • Resellers managing multiple OfferUp accounts or selling in volume who want a faster label workflow

When this isn’t the right tool

  • OfferUp sellers using the platform's built-in shipped sales feature — OfferUp's prepaid USPS label covers those transactions
  • Sellers doing local pickup only — no label needed for in-person exchanges

OfferUp shipping workflow

  1. 1

    Confirm whether this sold on OfferUp or elsewhere

    If it sold through OfferUp's Shipped option, use OfferUp's prepaid label. For off-platform sales, continue here.

  2. 2

    Get the buyer's address

    Collect the shipping address from the buyer via message. Verify the ZIP code and apartment number before creating the label.

  3. 3

    Enter addresses and add a reference

    Use the item name or order reference in the reference field. Add FRAGILE marking for fragile items.

  4. 4

    Choose your carrier and download

    USPS for small packages, UPS/FedEx for heavier items over 10 lbs.

  5. 5

    Buy postage and ship

    Purchase postage via USPS Click-N-Ship, Pirate Ship, or UPS.com. Share the tracking number with your buyer.

How it works: We format the label with your barcode/QR. Buy postage from your carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL) — they add the tracking barcode at drop-off.

Limitations & caveats

  • This tool is not for OfferUp Shipped sales — those use OfferUp's own prepaid label. Use our tool only for cross-platform or off-platform sales.
  • We do not buy postage — you purchase postage separately from your chosen carrier or a third-party like Pirate Ship.
  • For items over 70 lbs, you'll need freight shipping — our label format is designed for parcel carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx), not LTL freight.
