USPS Shipping Labels Thru Ebay

quackhead · 08-14-2016, 09:15 PM

Does anyone know if the shipping labels that Ebay creates for shipping items thru USPS have to be that same size when the label goes on the package? So if I took a screenshot of a label I wanted to print out, but the screenshot shrinks the label size from what it was originally thru Ebay, will USPS still be able to read the label on their end and still be able to ship the item? Hope that makes sense.

I think it has to be actually printed in order for the bar code to be scanned but I could be wrong.

My fault. I meant to say when the screenshot shrinks the label size, and you print the label from the screenshot and put that shrunken label on the package, will USPS still be able to read it on their end?

There is no standard size required for the label as long as the barcode and address is legible.
