Standard International Shipping label printing

[britannicauctions]

Just trying out eBay's new Standard International Shipping option for an overseas buyers.

I use adhesive label sheets with two labels per page which have always been ideal for eBay and PayPal labels.

With the Standard International, the label seems to print differently and this cuts off the important barcode.

Changing my printing orientation from portrait to landscape doesn't affect the label's placement on the sheet. 

Anybody else run into this? Attached is a picture to show how it is printing.

Thank you!

Hi @britannicauctions, can you tell me the size of your label and the type of label printer you are using? Does this experience change if you use a different browser? Would love to look into this further with a little more detail.

Before actually printing the label, can you SHRINK it?  I have an HP Laser printer, and I can reduce the size and I also use 2-up adhesive labels.  I have selected 92% and it works fine.

Thanks for your reply!

I have always used the "two-per-sheet" adhesive labels. The full sheets measure 8.5" X 5.5". 

When printing any standard shipping label through eBay, it'll print perfectly on one of the adhesive labels as shown in the example below. 

When printing the new Standard International labels, they print like the example below. I cannot seem to change the label's orientation, and it only fills half of the half-sheet-size label, so that's no good. The only option I can think of is to resize the label before printing, but that would make the scan bars and information so small that that doesn't seem a smart idea.

Hi @britannicauctions, thanks for the added detail. Can you please tell me the brand and model of your label printer? Looking forward to investigating this further!

I'm having the same problem as other people. I'm using the an HP officejet and and 2 labels per page 8.5x11 sheets. I can print standard labels just fine, But the standard international labels are not oriented the same way. This seems like a formatting or programming problem on eBay's end.

This same issue has been around when you print a FEDEX label as well. Been around for at least a year, and Ebay has never done anything about it, despite being noted in this shipping forum. Thanks for the heads up, I was optimistic to use the standard international shipping program, but now I know I can't use the 2 adhesive labels/ sheet that work so well. You have to use a plain sheet of paper when printing this label , and tape it on. No way to orient/ reorient the label (HP inkjet printers anyways) successfully. Its not a printer issue, its a Ebay programming issue. Like trying to log in with multiple accounts, but that's another issue.

Sorry if this is a repeat reply, but ebay just told me there was something wrong with the original transmission

I have the same problem but I copy and paster the label into a word doc, then it prints fine
