Paypal Shipping Down?

MCAddict · Jun 18th, 2008, 03:34 PM

Yesterday I payed for shipping through paypal, and every time that I went to print label, it would not appear. It would just say couldn't load page, and something about a server and to try again later. I tried many times until paypal said I could not try anymore, so I had to void that label

. Well today the same thing is happening, and my question is, is this happening to anyone else? Is there anyway to fix it?

Mine says:

We are not able to generate your label at this time. Your PayPal account was not charged. Please try again later.

PayPal Shipping is not available. We apologize for the inconvenience.

That wouldn't bother me as much, but they are actually charging me

! So I am going to have to void another label, and it takes something like 15 days to get the money back!

15 days? Lucky you, I didn't receive any refund for a full month.

I haven't tried to print a label during the last two days, but have you considered going online to the USPS website and printing your labels from there? They are discounted online just like PayPal. I have done this frequently - just make sure you have Adobe. This won't get your return for your voided label any faster, but at least you could print labels and get your items shipped.

P.S. You need a credit or debit card to use the USPS website.

If you are not shipping in flat rate boxes you may want to double check your postage, I had 2 packages going out yesterday and I have an electronic scale so I entered the weight and size of both but the postage on one seemed really low to me but I printed and took to the PO. This morning they had them waiting on me and both of them had to have extra postage, one was off by 4.15 and one was off by 2.35. So I think there are some issues with the paypal shipping at the moment.

^ I must be lucky, they never check my packages, I don't even make the line...

LouisLady · Jun 19th, 2008, 02:02 PM

LouisLady · Jun 19th, 2008, 02:05 PM

MCAddict · Jun 22nd, 2008, 10:18 PM

Does anyone know if it is working now? I have to ship another item and I don't want to wast my time with paypal if it is not working. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for letting me know!

MCAddict · Jun 23rd, 2008, 03:59 PM

I am officially DONE with paypal shipping!! It still will not work for me, but still charges me for the label! Is there anyone else that is having this problem? I have tried reprinting the label on different computers and it still doesn't work. I guess I will have go back to the old fashion way, actually going to the post office.

^That's weird! I just printed one this morning and one last night...I usually don't use PP shipping, I take everything to the PO, but since I was using a flat rate envelope, I printed the label instead.

MCAddict · Jun 23rd, 2008, 04:09 PM

It has been acting like this for me everytime that I want to ship a label. The really stupid thing though is that it takes 15+ days to actually get your money back
