Ecommerce411–slightly more efficient, probably a wash in terms of savings. As we have to ship more items on a daily basis the efficiency factor will increase. Definitely faster and easier to peel off the label and slap it on as opposed to cutting and taping.
John & TrunkFullOfJunk — We’re on a mac, and while the 4XL isn’t directly supported in eBay, on the “purchase label” page there’s a drop down printer selection menu and several Zebra 4×6 labels are supported. We’ve been printing using the Zebra configuration and 99% of the label gets printed–just the very top gets cut off. No cropping or screenshotting necessary. I asked eBay to support the 4XL, hopefully they will eventually!
We’ve been trying out Fitshipper and the biggest benefit we’ve seen is the access to Priority Cubic rate–we’ve seen some huge savings on small heavy items. Otherwise it’s 3 cents more per label over the TRS ebay rate. We’ve covered the $5 monthly fee with just a couple of Priority Cubic labels. Very easy to use interface. Also you can generate a shipping label from scratch which I’ve used to combine some shipping for multiple items. Downside is you have to prepay your shipping–but easy to reload automatically through Paypal.
The fitshipper guy is also the creator of the very awesome flippertools.com
Thanks for the feedback–we decided to go with the Dymo XL (a few high dollar sales yesterday helped make the decision….) But Retro–your label pouch method sounds cool–first time of heard of that.
John–do you have to do that resizing every time? Do you have a mac? I saw a mac user’s guide to printing that allegedly only requires that workaround the first time printing — it was on an Amazon review–I can post it if you’d like. We have a Mac and a Windows machine, so whichever one works better gets the label printer…
