Print Etsy and eBay shipping labels on Zebra thermal printers
US Etsy and eBay sellers who ship in volume often outgrow platform PDF labels. A Zebra ZD420/ZD421 or GK420d with 4×6 stock costs pennies per label and prints in seconds. mylabelmaker lets you design shipping layouts once, pull order data from CSV exports, and batch-print, no BarTender license, works on Mac.
Export orders from Etsy
Shop Manager → Orders → select open orders → Download CSV. Key columns: buyer_name, ship_address1, ship_city, ship_state, ship_zipcode, order_id. If you use Pirate Ship or Shippo for discounted USPS labels, export their CSV with tracking numbers instead, see USPS on Zebra.
Export orders from eBay
Seller Hub → Orders → Download report (CSV). Map Buyer Name, address fields, and Order Number to simple headers like name, address1, city, state, zip, order_id.
Design the label in mylabelmaker
- Open app.mylabelmaker.com, set 4×6 artboard.
- Load a Shipping template (Shopify or UPS style works as a starting layout).
- Replace ship-to lines with
{{name}},{{address1}},{{city}}{{state}}{{zip}}. - Add order ref:
Order {{order_id}}and tracking barcode{{tracking}}if available. - Paste CSV in Variables panel, preview each row, Print.
Many multi-channel sellers also run Shopify and Amazon FBA from the same Zebra. See Shopify and FBA guides. General shipping overview: how to print shipping labels on Zebra.
