Fedex shipping label page orientation

[zagorsky]

eBay shipping question. I have the 2 to a sheet self adhesive labels. When I try to print Fedex labels from eBay it keeps putting the labels in the wrong origination that prints onto both labels. How to I get it to print the labels sideways? It's very annoying.

Same as Superfunkystuff for me.

Richard, get over yourself.

I started using regular paper for Fedex label, and the 2 part labels for USPS until this gets sorted out. Likely I will change to stone tablet and chisel before that happens though.

Hey Brian. Switch me back to the OLD FLOW or whatever ridiculous new hip millennial name they have for it. The New Flow needs to go back to the toilet board and get fixed. Oh, and the guy you said had the fix, has no idea what everyone else has been dealing with.

Man this is F'd up!!! Seriously ebay get your S* together! Is there a workaround that anyone knows of? I don't see the option of switching back to classic printing...

eBay NEEDS TO FIX THIS ....

The only way I can do it, it to tell it to print the PNG way then I copy the screen and paste into powerpoint and then crop and print .......... A WASTE OF MY TIME!!!!!!

EBAY FIX THIS !!!!!!!

The only work around I have found is downloading the label from the print screen, then opening in acrobat reader.  There I can change it to landscape and it actually prints landscape.  I use single label sheets and I have to flip the label around to print because doing it this way, it prints on the bottom half of the page.

richard,

this simply doesn't work!

I'm having the exact same issue as others...cannot change the label to print correctly with Fedex label. It's not me, or my computer, it's ebay. USPS labels print fine on 2-label pages. Have had to print onto paper, then cut and tape onto box if want to ship Fedex. 

Please fix asap. Going off to look for the old flow label page if I can switch back....

The FedEx label does not have a orientation to change, the only way to print on half a sheet is to change the zoom setting to 90%, the label will now fit on half a page. Until eBay fixes this issue, this has been the easiest fix for me.

@idaho_a2z when you are on the new flow page, go up to the url in the location bar and replace new_label with back_to_classic  don't change anything else, hit Enter and it will take you to the classic flow to print the label.

You can also open a free FedEx.com account, link your eBay account and not have to use the eBay interface anymore.

>>You can also open a free FedEx.com account, link your eBay account and not have to use the eBay interface anymore.

But FedEx rates not through eBay will be sometimes significantly higher, especially when dimensional weight dominates, unless seller negotiates their own better rates with FedEx (which is unlikely unless a high volume seller)

A trade off of printing issues and higher risk (eBay in middle) using eBay labels vs higher costs along with no prepopulated fields using FedEx directly.

@dtexley3  Changing to "back_to_classic" gives me an error page.

Using a Fedex account would result in significantly higher fees.

What we need is for Ebay to just fix it. What is the deal? This has been going on for months now.

@superfunkystuff eBay isn't going to fix it anytime soon, it's not costing THEM money, so I believe it goes to the bottom of the list.

I just check and replacing new_label with back_to_classic still works in Chrome.  Be careful to not remove the slash / or the question mark ? on either side of the new_label keyword.

Back to classic works fine for me, and everyone else who uses it in it's various forms

I only print my labels using the classic flow after automatic redirection from the new flow.

Has anyone figured this out? Why hasn't eBay fixed this?
