Small font on eBay labels

[Emerald_Door]

Is it possible to enlarge the font size on the eBay labels?  I don't know of any way to do this, but I just got this message from a buyer.

"Hello, I just won the bid. Could you please put my address clearly or large on envelope? I think my postman is hard of seeing." 

If it's not possible, how would you respond?

I don't know of any way to change the font, but I think there may be a way, either in eBay or PP, to just print the little postage stamp and handwrite your own label.

I received a package that way once, although I didn't look to see how they did it.

To save ink, I often will print labels at 85% of their size. I would imagine it would let you blow the label up to 125%, too.

I'll try it, but I don't know if it will fit on the label if I blow it up.

Maybe print it on a piece of paper and tape it? That's what I do all the time, I never use actual labels.

I should have thought of that! Thanks.

"...hard of seeing."
I love that!

There is actually a way to print it at 1.5x the size, I wish I had seen this sooner.

When you create the label through eBay and it generates you will see a link at the top "If your label prints to small, etc" like this:



Click that link to open in a new window

From there you can click on print and when the printer window open you can manually adjust the size, using 150% on the scale and changing to landscape you can print one full 8.5x11 of just the label portion, receipt would be separate if you chose to print it.  It goes like this (example):




You may have to play with a little depending on what shows in your frame prior to printing and select to print just page 1 so you don't waste paper.

I have done this with some very large packages where I wanted the label to show better.

That's similar to what I did. I just set my printer setting to print at 125% on landscape mode.
