      Hi appreciate your guidance on the label printer settings. Question, my label measurements is set to mm instead of inches(I know how to convert but it’s annoying to me)is there a way I can change mm to inches on windows set up? Thanks!

      The new settings no longer allow you to change the print settings once you've purchased the label. You have to void the label and purchase a new label to make print settings changes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

      @@TrentMRobertson No really. You can simulate the need for a new label, make adjusting the size, saving it, and then returning to reprint the old label with the new 4x6 dimensions. This is applicable for eBay purposes. Works for me. ✌

    I watched all your other ql-1100nwb videos and was so excited to print my first 4x6 Mercari label, but it printed blurry... so then I found this video which shows you how to go on pc to change Mercari labels BUT doing that defeats the whole purpose of having a wireless printer to print WiFi direct from my phone (which I’ve done for years on my old 2” wireless ql and stacked to make a Mercari label which looked really crappy) So I started searching and found a Reddit post where someone used an online cropping site called fbatech.com. You just browse to the Mercari label you downloaded, upload and it crops it.
    Thank you so much for all your super helpful videos.

    EDIT: After login in using my laptop, the shipping options suggested here didn't show up for me (July '22). After checking the eBay's 'help' section, I finally found the answer:
    -At the item, select to print a label
    -The new page is titled 'Ship your order'
    -There are three blocks of info: Shipping details, Package size, & Shipping Service
    -Click 'more options' next to Shipping Service
    -On the far right is a block 'Order details'
    -Go to the bottom of that block, hit Show More and see Print Format
    -Make your appropriate changes and click Change
    As the user mentioned, eBay makes it so hard to find these settings... unbelievable!

    You have no idea how helpful this was. Spent so many hours getting my thermal printer to actually print let alone print the label correctly! You are right. The scan code is way too small to scan. I did take it into the post office to check! Tysm! ❤️❤️❤️

    you can print international labels on 4x6 labels too.. just screen shot the label, crop around the label, and print the image and use "scale to fit" printer setting when you select 4x6 paper option
