If you use the 2-on-a-sheet type, like I do, be careful when purchasing labels on eBay.
For years less-than-scrupulous people would sell you labels they got for free from UPS or FedEx. Sometimes they would even open an account in your name, unbeknownst to you.
But eBay cracked down on this. There are no longer any UPS or FedEx branded labels on eBay because selling them is a quick route to a NARU. If you do see some listed, trust me, they won't be there long.
So the baddies have come up with one better. They source the labels as before, but have the edges cut off. An 8 1/2 x 11 sheet becomes 8 1/2 x 10 inches. And now they give instructions for reformatting your printing preferences to use these weird-sized labels. Great, huh?
If you buy labels, make sure the sheet size is what it should be: 8 1/2 x 11 inches.

Fluff, I'm using the 2 on a sheet 8.5 x 11
My question is can you put two labels on a sheet & if yes how do you do it.
What I'm getting now is one shipping label & a receipt. Not too bad though because I no longer have to write info in a book, I just paste in the receipt.

I just broke open a new packaged of these labels and they are 1" short. So I just push them 1" further into my printer than the regular paper. It works OK, but a nuisance.
