Having the regular (kids' clothes) eBay clear-out. Printing postage labels, cutting them out then taping them to the parcels is deeply tedious, especially as they're all A6 and there's a lot of waste paper. There must be a better way of doing this but can the STW Hive Mind suggest what it is?

Take the clothes to a charity shop.

MyHermes do a print service in the shop, haven't used it myself, but the shop fella said it's good. You'd have to stand there with all your parcels though, not great...

If I had a lot to do, I think I'd buy some sticker sheets for the printer - Still have to cut them out, but a lot better than sellotaping.
eg.

Or, clear plastic stickies - fold your printed label and shove it in.
eg.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01JANCJTM/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_.7CKDb8H3254Q

(note, these things are usually cheaper on EBay than Amazon but I can't do ebay links at work)(and at leat you know ebay sellers deliver to you!)

You can buy Avery Labels that are compatible with printers, and there's a label printing function in MS Word. It's not dead obvious, but it is there. We use them at work, they're pretty good, print off, peel and stick. No cutting or folding.
