Ebay/Paypal postage label question

mlbfan2

I just printed out a postage label and the size of it is 4.5" by 3", which, for some reason, is quite a bit smaller than usual. Will the bar codes still be able to be scanned?

Depends on the quality of your printer.
I usually shrink the label to 80% of original size anyway to make it easier to tape onto a small bubble mailer.

Barcodes are proportional, so yes, as long as it's not blurry. If one line bleeds into another, it could be difficult for the carrier to scan it.

Thanks for the help, guys.

No, the barcodes won't scan. Most printers don't print with enough definition to print small bar codes. We run into this all of the time.

Uhhhh, I do it all the time without issue. Maybe your printer just sucks.
