Printing eBay Shipping labels Multiple Can This Be Done ?

[base787]

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,

[davewil1964]

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]").

oh yeah that sounds like a good idea 🙂

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.

[davewil1964]

Your problem. I sell a few.

But I seem to be more professional than you. LOL
