How to switch paper size after I purchase a shipping label?

I purchased a shipping label and it keeps printing really small and sideways.  I went on ebay and can not find how to change it from printing on regular 8x11  sheet to a 4x6 label.

 

Can someone help??

You can't change the layout after purchasing the label. Do you have any kind of photo editing software? Open the label in there and format it.

 

The paper size can be adjusted before you purchase a label.

How to switch paper size after I purchase a shipping label?

I have FINALLY figured out how to change this for already purchased shipping. All the threads say to cancel the usps label then re-purchase to get to this page with the settings.

 

Here is what I did:

1. since the usps shipping was already purchased I went to the "purchase another label"

2. there I changed the label size same as all the suggestions.

3. I did not purchase a new label and went back to the shipping labels listing page.

4. in the item drop down I selected, "reprint label"

Now when I click on the label it is at the new size I selected.

 

This was so frustrating to figure out since I needed to piece together information from other threads.

 

Ebay if your reading, please update the help documentation.

Just before you press print you can double check the print settings this should allow you to make the changes that you want to make including colour, paper size etc

This does not work if the label is printed on the wrong size to begin with.  Been down that road before.

 

Your only option is to manually resize it with photo editing software to get it to fit on 4x6, or void/reprint the label.  Though apparently there is a work around of sorts it sounds like as the OP listed above:

You're simply a life-saver. I was growing grey trying to figure this out for days as I knew I did it once, but just didn't remember what I did and how I did it.
