resizing ebay labels
Hi everyone,
Some of the items I am selling are small. The ebay labels provided are too big for them. For example, I have a package whose dimensions are 6cmx6cmx3cm. Is there a way to resize an ebay label to fit it?
Thank you for your help.

·1 year agoI put packages like that into a kraft envelope that is much cheaper than a bubble mailer, just to have more label room. This is assuming that the parcel already provides protection for the item and the envelope is just for label real estates.
When printing you can also scale down the size of the output - which I do for smaller boxes.

I personally do resize my labels to 80% of original size (it fits my packages well and still readable) using the computer's default resizing option.

·1 year agoThe first thing is that I wouldn't ship a package in a mailer that small. Canada Post has minimum package requirements. You're not saving any money on shipping rates by shipping it that small compared to using a 6"x4" bubble mailer. Granted, I am not saying they will reject your package if you drop it in a mail box. It may still get delivered, but it's pointless to ship something in packaging that small.
My advice would be to take the package as you have it now, and place it in a paper or bubble mailer. Then place the label on the mailer.
To answer your actual question, when you print something out on a computer there should be an option called something like "scale" that allows you to alter a percentage. The default percentage is 100. You can lower the percentage down to get it to print smaller.
