What is Smart Send?
Smart Send is Parcel2Go’s free shipping management platform that allows you to integrate your parcel delivery with all the sales channels you use. Whether you sell on eBay, Amazon, your own website – or more – you can manage your business parcel delivery all from one place with Smart Send. This tool is especially valuable for business sellers or high-volume users who want more flexibility than eBay’s standard options.
As of April 2025, eBay’s new Simple Delivery service applies automatically to most private seller listings, providing sellers with pre-generated labels and tracking. However, if you’re running an eBay shop or prefer to customise your delivery process, Smart Send gives you full control.
eBay shipping starts from as little as £1.99 exc VAT when you book with Parcel2Go.
Integrate your sales channels with Smart Send by visiting your ‘Linked Accounts’, where you can also apply for a Parcel2Go.com API key to link your own website.
