What if you bought $5 in cards and handed them a $20. The cashier handed you $95 back in change mistakenly thinking you gave her a hundred. Would you walk out with the extra $80?

Of course not, because that's someone's mistake. But to use your example... If those $5 in cards are 2019 Bowman Megas, I'm not going to tell Target that they should charge more. I'm just a price-taker.

Exactly the point the guy was trying to make. You're a price taker, not a price arguer on an honest mistake, you must honor it or else kinda guy, right?

pirateship.com is also a good website to use for printing shipping labels. I use it a lot for non eBay or PayPal transactions.

Was talking with my wife about these and she said she had also been looking recently. She had saved this one on her amazon list......

The 450 looked good, but I wanted the option to go to the bigger 4x6 format, so opted for the 4XL

I have a Rollo and really like it.

How do y'all order the thermal paper from UPS? When I sign in, my available options are the following:

UPS Delivery Confirmation Label
UPS WorldShip Peel-and-Stick Labels - (2 per Sheet)
UPS WorldShip Peel-and-Stick Labels - (4 per Sheet)
Over 70 lbs. Highlight Sticker
Saturday Delivery Sticker
Dry Ice for Medical Purposes Sticker

That's all I have in the Labels and Stickers category.

Got mine and set it up pretty quickly. Waiting on some more rolls from HouseLabels which should be arriving today. Now I need to find a way to do a test label through eBay before I start new listings. Haven't posted anything for sale in quite some time! The application itself was super easy to use to print random stuff (on a Mac).

I don't use UPS but had a look and found them here:
Direct Thermal Label - 4" x 6.25" Roll

If they are not available to you perhaps UPS has to activate them for your account or something. I know FedEx checks your usage if you're ordering supplies but you should be able to order a roll every now and then if you ship with them sometimes.

The thermal paper through UPS seems to be for HUGE spools that only work with certain printers.

Wanted to get back to you. I got a Rollo, which I really like. You're right about the native sizing, but there's an option to select 4x6. That fixes the problem entirely. At least for me. Hope it helps.

I use a Rollo have ran over 10k labels through it thing is a beast, switched over to the cheaper eBay shipping option and even those labels print out very nice plus with Rollo you can use any thermal labels you find so you can get them very cheap the higher bulk amount you get

You have the option of printing the manifest from ebay or pp's bulk shipping page

If you use that option and print out the manifest the clerk scans the sheet and tracking for each item will indicate acceptance

You are in no way required to have the manifest but the clerk will not scan in more than x amount of your pre-paid packages if they do not feel like it

PO’s with self service machines now have the ability to scan packages at the machine.

eBay how has a feature where you can scan a barcode eon your phone and the label prints at the PO.

Once you go Rollo you never go back.

Are the new cheap shipping labels from eBay 4x6? What kind of envelope are you using?

Does the Dymo 4XL come with starter labels? Mine is being delivered today and the labels I ordered (just to get up and running) aren’t arriving until mid weed and I don’t see any B&M that carry the labels in store.

kpballer41 · 01-31-2021, 02:30 PM

One of the more helpful threads on here. I don't have a printer and was walking to FedEx to use their printers, but I went ahead and got a Rollo. Think it'll pay off in the long run.

Where my fellow Eltron 2844 owners at?

Rollo for the price is a beast...cannot go wrong. Prints nice 4x6 labels every time.

glassofwater · 01-31-2021, 08:23 PM

I have dymo 4xl and turbo use both and awesome. Cheap labels from Amazon works great.

I think rollos are white label printer from China. Meaning you can buy much cheaper “rollo”s online tons of review on these on YouTube if you don’t want to put the money for a dymo/brother/zebra or a rollo

cmnova04 · 02-01-2021, 12:04 AM

Are there any wireless thermal printers that work with a mac? I keep researching and coming up empty.
