LabelFitQuick answer: An eBay half-sheet label PDF is a letter-size page with the label across the top half. Open it here: LabelFit crops the label, turns it upright and gives you a 4 × 6 in PDF to print at 100%. To avoid converting next time, change the label format in eBay's label settings to 4 × 6.
How to convert an eBay half-sheet label to 4x6
- Save the label as a PDF. On eBay's print screen, save the label PDF instead of printing it.
- Open it above. The eBay half-sheet preset sets 4 × 6 in paper and looks for the label in the top half.
- Check the rotation. The landscape label is turned to fit the portrait 4 × 6 page. Use Rotate if you prefer it the other way round.
- Print at 100%. Paper size 4 × 6 in, scale 100% or Actual size.
Change eBay's label format to 4x6
eBay lets you choose the label format when you buy postage. Sellers on the eBay community forum describe finding it on the create-label page, under Show more or next to the current label format, and switching it to 4 × 6. Bulk printing has its own size option, and eBay updates have been known to reset the choice, so check it before a big batch. If you already have half-sheet PDFs, convert them here.
Half-sheet or 4x6: which suits you?
| Half-sheet labels | 4 × 6 thermal labels | |
|---|---|---|
| Label size | 5.5 × 8.5 in, two per letter sheet | 4 × 6 in on a roll or fanfold stack |
| Printer | Any inkjet or laser printer | Thermal label printer, no ink |
| LabelFit size to choose | Letter, 2 per sheet | 4 × 6 in |
Printing on half-sheet sticker paper with an ordinary printer? Choose Letter, 2 per sheet under Print on. LabelFit then places two labels on each letter page, one per half-sheet sticker, so a sheet isn't wasted on one label.
eBay UK A4 labels
On eBay UK, labels often come as an A4 page with the 6 × 4 label in the top-left corner. Pick the eBay UK A4 preset to crop it to 100 × 150 mm, or 4 × 6 in if that's what your roll says.
Placement instructions on the page
If your eBay label includes placement instructions, LabelFit leaves them out and keeps only the label. You can also turn the instructions off on eBay's print screen to save paper when printing half-sheets.
Frequently asked questions
How big is a half-sheet label?
5.5 × 8.5 in, two per US letter sheet. A 4 × 6 in thermal label is smaller, so LabelFit crops away the blank margin around the label and fits the label itself.
Can I print two eBay labels on one sheet?
Yes. Open both PDFs, choose Letter, 2 per sheet, and each page of the PDF will hold two labels, one per half.
Will the barcode be shrunk?
Usually only a little, because LabelFit fits the label rather than the whole page. The preview shows the exact print scale and warns you below 80%.
Does it work for eBay labels with a packing slip?
Yes. The slip is marked separately; leave it out or print it on its own page.
