Printing labels on eBay not working, but PayPal is

I was trying to print labels for the nice people on eBay who won my auctions at cents on the dollar, but it is not working.
So I called eBay and they said it is a system wide problem and they are aware and working on it.
He said I could try using PayPal or the carriers site.
These are PCGS slabs with a 3 oz. weight, which normally costs $2.60 with the new rates.
So I go to PayPal and I can print labels there - and they were only $2.54It's a first class package with tracking and six cents cheaper than eBay.

These constant increases in postage rates just fry me. They leave the 49 cent stamp alone, so the world doesn't notice.
It people like us, that actually ship stuff, that get dinged to death. Remember when a first class, one ounce package, would ship with a single stamp ?
An ounce was an ounce, once upon a time.....Now that a 'package' or bubble envelope is a separate entity, at 2.54, that's a 520 % increase.....and they still claim to be losing money.
Rant over......

Does eBay have a reprint option like PP does?
Yes they do, but you must reprint within 24 hours.

One could always cancel the eBay label and use PP. Both use the same source. I've never had a canceled label not get refunded.

I had a great suggestion from someone on the boards a few weeks ago, and that is to save the original label as a PDF file. Reprint anytime.....
Tracking numbers automatically show up for ebay items in both paypal and in my ebay when you print shipping labels using the print shipping label link at the bottom of the paypal item details page.

I mentioned that same thing here some time ago. For me it works best if I use Internet Explorer. You get the option to save or print. If you save it, you have to go to the saved document to print it.

Had the post office return some mail to me because I shipped it after the date on the label.

Never had that happen. I try to ship on or before the label date. Unless I know I'm going to ship on the label date, I usually postdate the label a day or 2. If it was not scanned by the USPS you should be entitled to a refund.

You can't use IE when printing UPS labels. It just doesn't work.
I have to use FireFox for UPS.
eBay is aware of the issue and doesn't care about fixing it.

Most if not all GuvMint sites are optimized for IE. I have no problem printing USPS labels from IE. IE gives me the option to save or print whereas Chrome or FF are print only.

If you buy through paypal, the insurance excludes coin and bullion. if you buy through the usps, you qualify for insurance.
Why would PP venue exclude coins when USPS insurance covers them? The USPS only insures bullion if it's sent registered.

Paypal shipping labels let you choose between USPS or Shipcover for insurance. As mentioned earlier USPS insurance does not cover bullion unless shipped registered mail. Registered mail cannot be purchased on a website, has to be done at the counter.

Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) sets the policy for USPS services. It provides for insurance on bullion only if sent registered mail. Note that the paypal option for "shipcover" insurance is not USPS insurance. I always choose USPS insurance over Shipcover when creating a paypal label and I always choose paypal labels over ebay labels.
