Printing eBay Shipping labels Multiple Can This Be Done ?

base787 — Thu, 05 May 2016 09:03:01 GMT

I am also curious to know once the printed label is down ( does it tell you what the item is or does it only have the buyers address ?

No. One at a time. If you print landscape you can get 2 per A4 sheet.

There is no item description on the label, nor should there be. But as you can't print multiple labels at once this should not be a problem.

Ah well that's no good, when you have to sort, and find each item, i noticed on the usps in USA, you can do this...
As printing 20-30 items one by one, is very time consuming,

USPS is American Post.

You can print multiples through Australia Post Click and Send. But you generally pay more than the eBay equivalent.

I don't do 20 or 30 per day, but I find printing one at a time helps me not to confuse what label goes with what package. I don't use postage labels to find my stock, however. That's done way before postage is done.

So i guess you could have your label printer near your stock, so you know which label goes where ?

You'd probably have to print packing slips / invoices to help you match the labels to the products, if you need to print and package in completely separate areas / sessions etc.

(I do this is a way - I've never had two buyers on the same day with the same first and last name, so often I just handwrite out a list that says stuff like "Jane D - [shorthand item description]").

My label printer is next to my computer and not portable.

I dig my items when they are paid for, then pack them, print the label, attach to the relevant parcel and put in the to-be-posted pile. One at a time. Not hard and not particularly time wasting. I can have a day's parcels packed, then just need to print the labels, stick them in the satchel, stick the book in and seal. The only extra time is in the 3 metre walk from my desk to the packaging area.

if you don't want suggestions, maybe don't ask in the first place.

Your problem. I sell a few.

But I seem to be more professional than you. LOL

I don't post with my store ID. I don't need malicious buyers.

And apples for apples, while my feedback rate is about 30% of yours, I have never had a neg.

Which has nothing to do with your question, which I answered with FACTS. If you don't like it, t~~ake it up with eBa~~y headbutt a brick wall

I print out a paypal packing slip and a ebay address label one after the other.

Label goes on satchel. Pack and place order with packing slip in satchel making sure slip and label match.

That's how I do it.

Both are printed on A4 (grayscale, draft), so no need for separate labeling machine/printer.

Like everyone has said so far the eBay postage label only allows for 1 at a time printing. However, I have found a way to bypass this.

We've got Photoshop, so if you do happen to have this, it can be useful. Maybe another software that allows for you to open up pdf files will be able to do this as well.

Basically, I "save as" the postage label as a pdf, then drag and drop into photoshop. It then opens up straight as just the label itself, no excess paper, then have that all lined up as 4 per page and print. I hope that makes sense!

Oh, and it also works with Click and Send if you don't have enough volume to fill 4 a page

We've made an automated action with it so it's not time consuming.

The label does not have a description of the item, but , if you tick the box, it does have the ebay item no.

I don't sell much, so I have time to print a packing slip at the same time - an option available with the ebay postage label, so there is no chance of mixing up parcels.
