Don't want to beat a dead horse. But, why doesn't ebay allow three methods of shipping: Media, Regular, and Priority. Then let the seller pick from those three. Then when time to ship let the seller define further what they want and the cost.

The seller can define the options. Ebay lets YOU choose, which is better. I don't want a buyer telling me I have to ship next day air

I've been using Paypal the last few days because ebay has their label layout screwed up again. When is ebay going to learn if it ain't broke don't fix it!
same here. what a mess. I figured out that changing settings to 2 per page at 160% size puts it generally over my 2 per page click-n-ships.

well, there's two day priority and three day priority and registered priority. The more specific a seller is when he creates the listing the more accurate ebay's "expected delivery" date algorithm. Try finding registered in their drop down.

eBay messes up the simplest of things.
I always print 2 per page and I haven't had an issue printing.

They do. My listings are set up for first class and I change the shipping to priority when it's appropriate. You're not stuck with the shipping option you chose when you listed the item. You can change it when you go to ship.
You can also offer multiple shipping options when you create the listing. The buyer can then select his/her preferred method at checkout.
I do too but they have the label oriented vertical now which ruins your 2nd label. I ship and print 1 at a time...eliminates shipping the wrong coin to the wrong buyer!

It's vertical if you are on the labels tab but mine is horizontal if I'm printing it out of my orders page.
That might be true if you are printing 2 at a time. The 1st time I experienced it was when ebay 1st started the standard international delivery. Just about an 1/8 of an inch of the international barcode would print and not the tracking number. I just started making sure I used my 2nd label on those and wrote in the international tracking number. I figure there was enough complaining going on from the shipping dept. they finally fixed it!

No, even if I print them one at a time. They are side by side on the orders page but rotated (inconveniently) on the labels page. [This is true in both Edge and Chrome. I don't know about other browsers.]

Interesting. I didn't know that.
Yes, it's very useful if you want to give them the option of upping the service level. They almost always choose the cheapest.

I don't know. I've printed 80 labels in the last 3 days, all from the order page. I've printed singles, doubles and as many as 9 at a time. They were all properly oriented.
One misprinted. When I went to the labels page to reprint it, it was rotated 90 degrees.

Buyers almost always choose the cheapest? You don't say!
Actually, I'm not at all surprised. I once watched a guy turn around and leave when he found out the coin show he came to attend was charging an entrance fee. The fee? $1.

The ones I printed tonight worked like I expected in default setting. Fingers crossed you're next. I called eBay a few days ago and they added me to their ticket system on the issue.
i didn't read all these posts but i've noticed the problem as well.
the easiest way to get around it is to download the label and print from adobe.
if you're good with print preview you can rotate between landsscape/portrait and/or use the option to rotate 180 degrees. it is a bit of trial and error.
since this new firefox i cannot find the option to change the size of the label by %. i used to make them small for small packages and big for big ones.
someone shipped something to me that was a big box and the label was 18" or so long and 15" wide LMAO i kept it for chuckles.

IMO ... that small priority Box for $8.80 is ridiculous.

well, my labels for today were working... Fingers crossed for everyone else

Believe me this is happening to me and apparently others right now. The rates are the same so I'm just using paypal for shipping right now.
