I have printed 4 shipping label and everything was fine but the 5th one no matter what cannot even start the process.

Has anybody else had this problem before? It has never happened to me.

Any insight on what to do? And what could this be? Thanks.

The system is glitchy like that.

Do something else for a while and try again.

What error message are you getting?

rio1953 · ‎02-28-2016

Just brings me back to the page where you choose to print a shipping label.

I don't understand.....this particular label was the first that I tried to buy and print but the system wouldn't let me.

Than I bought and printed 4 more labels, after that I went back to the 1st one but still couldn't do anything.

And it doesn't try to say anything like 'paypal shipping is not available' or one of their other vague error messages? How strange. It makes me think perhaps there is something wrong with the payment or buyer address.

Rio, that happened to me last week. I thought it was PayPal, but, it was just that one label. Went to the PO and even they had trouble. Best we can figure is that it was something to do with the address.

I was in a perpetual circle: ebay.ca - print shipping label - log into PP - print shipping label - back to the PP summary page - find the transaction - print shippibg label - back to the summary page - round - round -round.

It happened once last year, as well. Just one label. Once I get past the one label, everything is fine.

Is it destined for overseas, by chance?

decal-fx · ‎02-29-2016

I Have that happen about 2-3 time a month. I just use Canada Post website's online shipping when it happen. BTW it's always an overseas address.

What happens when you use REPRINT THIS LABEL?

It's on the left near the bottom of the paragraph as a blue link.

I've never been able to print 'normally' (I use Macs) but the reprint link works every time.

rio1953 · ‎02-29-2016

I use MAC too and never had any problems. No cannot use reprint this label because I haven't payed for the postage yet.

rio1953 · ‎02-29-2016

....and the buyer is in the States.

sylviebee · ‎02-29-2016

I've had issues with several labels when the country didn't match the rest of the address.

Make sure that the country for the paypal shipping address is the United States.

Did you sign out of paypal, sign in and then try again. If you were trying to print a tracked packet label that can happen if you don't print that label first. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the problem could be unless there is a problem with the address. Apparently there is a way to confirm addresses through USPS but I'm not sure how or where to do that as I've never had that problem with a U.S. address.
