My labels are printing fine today as well, even the international ones with long place names and keyboard characters that don't always easily translate.
My general concern with paypal isn't the shipping component, per se, but the instability of the service as of late. We entrust them with our money and yet I cannot remember the last time the service was so buggy for such an extended period of time and without prior warning.
Any time I go to withdraw funds from my paypal account, I am reminded by paypal that carrying a balance in my paypal account is oh so very convenient when I want to pay a merchant with my paypal balance instead. True, but I'm not comfortable letting paypal hold vasts sums of my money (hah!) for long periods of time.
With my financial institution, I am warned in advance specifically when to expect outages in service and for a specific length of time. As a result, I have more trust in them.
This is an actual bank posts on their website when they're planning site maintenance that affects its users:
We’ll be doing some system maintenance this weekend. The outage times are in Eastern Time, unless otherwise noted, and may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Here’s how it might affect you:
Sunday, November 1

- Customers holding Client Cards that begin with (numerals edited) (i.e. your accounts were opened in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, NWT or parts of north-western Ontario) will be unable to access their accounts through Online Banking, Mobile Banking, Telephone Banking or at ATMs between 5:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m.
(REDACTED) US
- Online and Mobile Banking won’t be available from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
It's not my intention to start a big hate-on for paypal because I am generally pleased with their service, or at least that which I experience as both a buyer and seller. I don't trust all these recent site issues, however, and fear there is something happening behind the scenes that we're not meant to know about.
