Changing size of shipping label

Someone else asked same basic question and wastingtime101 gave the answer  I needed BUT I noticed something that doesn't make sense - 

 

What browser is that? We print from both foxfire and chrome depending on which account, and on foxfire it prints a 3-1/2 by just about five inch labels when trimmed, which is not on that list of sizes. I don't have a chrome to check but it's bigger - maybe the 4x6 size. 

 

We want to print the chrome the same size as the other - or both even a bit smaller - so we can print three labels per sheet of legal paper, of which we have 30 plus reams of. The 3+ by 5 works.

Change your browser settings to open PDF files with Adobe instead of with your browser's built-in reader. Opening with your browser's built-in reader can account for the variation in sizes.

Changing size of shipping label

@steve_stuff , @wastingtime101 

 

A few years ago the size % in the Browser Print flow on Firefox and Edge browsers worked fine. 

Then eBay changed something and that functionality STOPPED working on:

 

-Windows 7.0 Firefox & Edge

-Windows 8.1 Firefox & Edge

 

I reported this to eBay but they never fixed the code for the older Windows OS ... 

 

I now have a new Laptop using Windows 11 with Firefox and Edge and the size % on the Browser Print flow works again ... 

Best regards,

Sorry it took so long to get back to this -

 

We should have just experimented - What we had tried was print the two 'outside' ones, cutting at border line, then trying to use the 'middle' one. Found that we can get three if we cut just one of the outside ones off and then just stick the blank side back in. Using the middle piece only it cut off short of full barcode, for some reason it seems that having a bigger piece of paper works. 

 

And it still prints  a 3-1/2 by just about five inch labels when trimmed -IMG_6503.JPG
