Hello,  Either it is my computer or THEY changed the way we print shipping labels.

Anybody else notice the  change ?? Is there a way to go back to the old way of printing labels ??

This has not been happening for many months, it changes over night to another new form to fill out, I ship about 10 items a day & it has not been like this style.

Yes, the multi-label interface changed about two days ago for a lot of sellers ... it is half-baked with a lot of problems.

 

As buyselljack2016 mentioned, there's a link on the upper right that will take you to the interface that works properly.

May not have been happening to all---everytime, but it HAS been going on for over 6 months.

 

Initial plan was to phase out the "classic" label at the end of summer, but eBay IT is still working on improving areas wher the "new label" is lacking functionallity.

Personally, I think they should just give up and put it back the way it was (that worked).

and I as well.

 

Seems they have some reasons for doing it, but whatever they are, they do not benefit me.

 

The inability to change the "ship from" is one item lacking. Shipping cost can be higher, or lower.   USPS employees can be abusive if the ship from is not their office even when the cost is the same.

 

The page set up that I have yet to spend time trying to get set up is a big problem.  I print a shipping label/online shipping record/packing slip all on the same sheet of paper. 

 

The "classic" label starts at the top of the page, and allows me to do this.  The great new label wants to put the label way down from the top, centering it on the page, does not give me the same "online shipping record" format(info), and does not leave room on the sheet to print a packing slip.

 

Add to that, all the additional scrolling required, and it just becomes a hot annoying mess.

Return to classic goes to "page not responding"

This new format is terrible!

My SWAG says this won't  happen.  Like the Seller Hub better get used to it -  eBay  ain't going backwards.

Can't  say I have  had any issues buying shipping lables on the new eBay  format and I'm from the generation that had  black rotary dial telephones, short telephone cords and a party line and had to learn to drive a "three on the tree" manual transmission 1951 Ford - my first  car.

Yep some  might say I'm old - I say not - I just have more experience than those younger than I.
