Um ... you do realize, right, that more than likely the "seller" has opened a UPS account in your name, and had UPS send you their free labels, since you're now a UPS customer?
Answer
Not so. The UPS account generally is followed by a kit from UPS and a phone call.
Otherwise, some scrubber, likely from here, blew it in.
There's others on ebay selling them, or open the account.
Snake if you find out why let us know. That gibberish that ebay list for why it's cancelled is timely....Can anyone trudge through it?
Answer
UPS gives them out for free to account holders (however I assume they won't just send you 10,000 rolls if you only ship 50 items a week), but when you cancel your account you are supposed to give them back. They have to come pick them up though, and they rarely if ever do... which means that they are out there floating around. I still have some left over that I use sometimes to cover stuff on boxes that I'm shipping which might be confusing.
Answer
There are a number of people on eBay who are making quite a lucrative career in selling free UPS supplies. Boxes, labels and more! Bizarrely enough, there are plenty of people on eBay buying the stuff!
This won't stop until such time, if ever, that UPS decides this is a big enough problem to start policiing.

If you bid on an auction in someones store it can be ended months after your bid and you would probably still get the notice.
It amazes me to no end that people continue to bid on these.

It would be kinda tragic if this guy closed his account and UPS started showing up at the delivery address looking for the labels.
Answer
Whoa! Snakebait...do mean to say you were paying for free UPS supplies? It's time to confess...lol! http://community.here.com/infopop/em...on_biggrin.gif
Answer
Toke, 3200 labesl for $1.99, shipped. Blank labels that can be used for whatever. No need to open an account at that low price.
Answer
Toke,
For the price, and not being hassled by UPS it was worth the price..
Of course I did not know they were coming direct from UPS, as I really didnt feel like opening an account with them.
Now the thing is, IF I DO try to open an account with them for any reason in the future, will it be blocked because technically I already have one, and do not know the password to get in???
