My shipping labels are printing the wrong way...horizontal instead of vertical......HOW DO I FIX IT?

My shipping labels suddenly have started printing in the wrong direction....THERE IS NO PLACE THAT I CAN FIND TO CORRECT THIS!  I don't have time to start trimming every label......it seems that every time an ebay executive comes up with a new idea to justify his or her salary......THE SELLERS SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!  Can anyone tell me how to fix this???

@the_purveyor_of_needful_things  It's probably a browser issue.  For instance, I'm on Firefox  and the latest update has goobered up my labels, and I've needed to go into the preferences to fix it - in my case it's size (I use a thermal printer), but in your case sounds like orientation.

 

So that's something to check.

 

ETA:  It's not just ebay, it's all three sites where I sell AND the shipping app I use.

You can change your paper orientation (download the label instead of printing from the browser). Once you open it as a PDF you can change it from Portrait to Landscape (and vice versa). It happened to me and making the change from paper orientation worked fine.

Bookpage -

 

Same thing happened to me. Yes, you can do what you say, but just another step in the process to slow things down. In and of itself, not a big deal. Add up all the little changes, yes it is a big deal. Drives me nuts.

I am having the same problem. On hold with Ebay right now. There is definitely some sort of glitch and I agree who has time cut and tape.

Did you get any answers? Having the same issue here.  It's annoying, but all I want is a fix. Spent the day resizing and trimming paper labels since it won't format for my sticker labels. Not great!

Ebay told me they are aware of the glitch. I asked if they were making a global fix and they told me no that they were doing it individually. I have a case number, but still not fixed. I assume we arent the only ones. Hopefully they fix it soon.

How do we report this in order to get a case number?

Wasting time here looking for an answer to this glitch.  Why do they mess around with something that worked just fine.  This is the only site that I have the issue, so it is not a browser issue.

I'm having the same issue, and of course, it happens when I have about 13 labels to print! This was an eBay glitch a while back and it eventually got fixed in a couple of days.
