changes to the eBay invoice and address label today?

[flyhooks4less]

Hi There,

Has anybody noticed changes to the eBay invoice and address label today? I had 2 orders that behaved normally earlier today, but for my last order the fonts have changed only for the "ship to" portion of the label. This causes the lable to have a very small front for the "ship to" address which I use for all my letter mail shipments (most are standard 24X10cm envelopes with a clear window). Is it me or did this template suddenly change?

So frustrating...

I noticed that change awhile ago. It would be nice to be able to use the provided labels in a readable(without a magnifying glass) format. I've used  on packages as backup labels when the package is smaller. If it's larger I cut & paste Open Office labels and adjust the size accordingly. For someone reading on the line or delivering it would be best if the intended address label was in a larger format.

I just started selling again and wanted to use that option to print labels and invoice then cut the labels out and include the invoice.

The size of the return address is huge and the buyers address is small. It should be reversed with the return address being small and the buyers address larger. 

I do not know what it was like before. I know that for the past 2-3 weeks when trying to use this option the large return address and small buyer address has been there. 

So I have to copy and paste the two to a Wordpad file and change the font sizes to what I want. Then print the Wordpad file. I then just print the invoice by itself. Unnecessary time spent. 

I use half sheets of used printed on paper from my wife's business. I find sheets with bottom half blank on both sides and use my Fiskars paper cutter to cut out the blank half. I have about 50 sheets cut and ready to use.

I am a casual seller so I time to do these seemingly silly things like saving the half sheets. Lol.

It sure would be nice if we could adjust the layout and format of those printouts.

I remember when I had Selling Manager Pro years back, that these pages were from that eBay program. It seems eBay has used pages from that old program.

I used to correct the eBay invoice without the labels part when the buyer address was very badly input with no uppercase and incorrect abbreviation in the address. What I did was right click on the address and select Inspect Element. This would bring up the HTML formatting of the address as well as the data part with the buyers address. Then I simply edited the address to correct it. 

i tried that a couple of times with Microsoft edge browser. I could not find the address data or the formatting. Strange. But back then I was using FireFox. Maybe I should try Firefox or Chrome browsers and see if I can do this.

The edit trick is temporary for that page and disappears once you leave the page.

thanks I may try that.

I just tried this fix in Firefox and it worked, its a bit clunky but at least I can change the font for the "send to" section, Thanks for this!

Update. The print address labels has returned. It's the 3rd option. Appear to be both using same font sizes.
