How do I set up a page for printing?  There no longer seems to be a 'Print' link on the pages.

 

Cheers

If that still doesn't do it for you then avail yourself of the snip tool, if you are using Windows, to select just the area of the page you want to print.

Thanks for your much-appreciated thoughts, folks, but we're no closer to solving the problem!  Perhaps I should have explained earlier that I am on an iMac computer....so no Windows or snipping or whatevers.

 

I don't want to print my Summary page....and I don't want to print the "Order details" of my purchase.  I want to print the original listing page with its photos and item descriptions, etc.  There has always been a "Print" link on completed listings pages...until now, it seems.  Clicking on that link used to give the option for a printer-friendly version of the page - eliminating ebay's "Sponsored links" and other advertising.

 

I just wondered if anyone knew if there was still a way of printing a completed listing page without the unwanted ebay rubbish taking up much of the page!  Smiley Sad

I hear you - and I feel your pain. The option to print, with the various check boxes (you could select what parts of the listing you wanted to print) does not seem to be available anymore. 😞

 

Can you do a/some screen captures of the sections you want to print and then print that out? Not sure what print screen/screen capture is called on a Mac though

Possibly do a Print-Screen and save it to your niche computer rather than killing trees?

 

Or the library thing. Or I believe there are Windows emulators available to you.

 

You might also consider providing relevant information earlier in future.

If you view the original listing page, sometimes there is a link at the top (look for a blue i banner) with a link to "view the item you purchased" or somesuch (usually on BIN items if the seller has revised the listing after you purchased).

 

If that doesn't work, try this, it should work as I just tried it on a purchase where I didn't have the "view item you purchased" link:

 

View the order details. In the URL will be two numbers, a transaction ID and the item number. Copy those.

 

Then, use this URL and modify it by putting the appropriate number in the appropriate spot - no spaces etc:

 

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=[put the item number here]&view=all&tid=[put the trasaction ID here]

Thank you, chezzy....I guess that's all I wanted - confirmation that ebay has once again done away with a useful feature!

 

I had already considered cobbling together a printable document by using a couple of screenshots, but the damned pages won't 'narrow' as well as they used to for a 'printer-friendly' version, alas.  Thanks, again!

Thanks, dg....but no joy from either of your suggestions.  Really appreciate your help, though!  Smiley Very Happy

Did you try going to the actual purchase history page and right clicking (in my case left). Then hit the print button and you should get the page to print out (without the other stuff you don't want).

 

It works for me on a pc but I'm not sure about a Mac.
