How many labels can I print for one (1) order?

I had multiple auctions close, and a single buyer purchased 18 items, each item listed separately in its own auction with separate freight charges for each item.  In the "sold item" report, Ebay has consolidated all of those 18 items into a single order.  Each of these 18 items needs to ship separately for tracking and reporting purposes.

 

I was able to print 4 separate labels using the "print another label" function, but at label 5 I get an error message.  "Something Went Wrong And We Are Unable To Generate the Label". 

 

Is there a maximum number of labels that can be printed for a single order? 

 

If so, how to I "un-wind" the consolidated order generated by Ebay so that I can create individual shipping labels for each item?

@glip  To my knowledge the max is 5 labels.   You will need to buy the other shipping labels on another site.  I recommend Pirateship.com

 

It's free to use and they charge the same commercial base rates as eBay just be sure that the tracking uploads to the sold items, it should do it automatically as pirateship can integrate with eBay.  

 

Be sure to select each item one at a time to print the labels so that the tracking is added to the individual items since they are all shipping separately.

Thank you, I'll give it a try.

If you want individual labels, just print each one from each individual listing.

 

For the four you already printed, you will need to void them and start over printing each from individual listings.

@glip,

What @comics-scifi-collectibles , wrote is one way to go about shipping, but there is another way depending on who you use for shipping.  First I would have to ask if any of the 18 items can be combined economically in one box to reduce the number of packages?   That may be something you should do if you have the time.

 

I have not done this in many years, but there was a time I would ship several packages under one tracking number and each package would have written on it in large letters, for Ex: 1 of 6 - 2 of 6... etc. I had to take those packages to the P.O. to get them labeled under one tracking number.

I would first tell the buyer that I required signature confirmation for those orders, and if they could not be at their location, on the delivery day, to use the attempted delivery slip to schedule delivery on a Date and time frame when they could be home to accept them.  Or just to go to their P.O. and pick them up.
