How to print eBay shipping labels using a Dymo LabelWriter 4XL (MacOS)

When I tried printing a shipping label through eBay's website, the margins weren't right. The shipping label was offset and scaled so much, only the left most half of the shipping label was actually printed. I did some searching and found that the Print shipping label page on the eBay website doesn't do anything to set the page size. All the page does is pull your system configuration and find out what the default paper size is for your printer. My default paper size for my labelwriter was "US Letter", which meant the shipping label was getting centered on a 8.5" x 11" page. This obviously was not resulting in a correctly printed shipping label, as the dymo labels are 4" x 6". To fix the problem, I opened TextEdit on my Mac, and went to File - Page Setup. There, I was able to create a custom page size which became associated with my label printer's settings. Then, I went to System Preferences and set the default page size to the custom page size I had just created. After refreshing the eBay print label page, the margins in the preview showed the correct 4" x 6" page size, and printing resulted in a correct shipping label. Are you having trouble getting to the page setup screen? In another screencast, I show some alternate ways to get to that screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg7UaG_M_ZM Want to buy this printer?
