"To print a Packing Slip for payment you have received, follow these steps: ... ... Packing slips can be printed for any order without purchasing a label."
What kind of label do you think this may be? A stamp, a price label, a sticker or what? And why spend money on a thing like that?

. . .'for payment you have received' - one can print the packing slip for shipment of the item sold
The only point of reference I have is ebay, but the same methods are in place for selling and self-shipping items via Amazon, yahoo, and the like.
When one sells an item on eBay, the seller can get payment via Paypal. The IT automatically offers the option of printing a packing slip to ship along with the sold item including the item number, seller's name and address, and so forth. The IT also provides an option for the seller to purchase the postage (USA, for sure) and the seller may print the postage label as well. Paypal debits the monies to cover postage from the seller's Paypal account, and pays postal authorities for the cost - it streamlines selling and shipping online, as it allows the seller to print everything necessary to ship a 'sold' item.

It could well be, Egil. The text indicates that one has been paid in full for the sold item, which could include the shipping cost. Depending on the situation, it could mean quite literally, the packing slip. Some sellers think it very professional to include a 'packing slip' - eBay uses this feature as a 'value added' benefit of using eBay. Depending on the situation, it could mean either; as stated, I am reporting on American eBay business practices.

Note from asker:
| I think you're right. Label in this case means "postage label", which serves as an alternative to postage stamp, right? |
