I am a newbie seller to ebay, and need some help.?

[Michael T]

I just sold a gift card. So I didn't know anyway other than to just send it in an envelope. So I put the gift card in a baseball card case, then wrote out the buyers address, put it in an envelope, stamped it, and mailed it. I have a printer and I would like it to look a little better. So my questions are: how do you print the shipping labels for the address and the tracking info. And what way of packing should I use, or is an envelope OK. And how will the labels stick? Do I need special printing paper? Where should I buy it? I have several more gift cards I want to sell, so any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you.
