eBay

I have been trying to purchase/print a shipping label through eBay for a sold item and I keep getting a time or error advising me something went wrong and to try again later when I hit purchase. Is there a current issue or could I just be a one off?

You didn't provide a lot of detail about the parameters on the shipping label you were trying to purchase/print. Which carrier were you using, were all the dimensions and weights correct, what class of postage were you using, did you actually purchase the label and just can't print it or are you having trouble purchasing the label?

While infrequent I have had issues purchasing/printing labels through eBay probably due to technical issues or the interface being down between eBay and the carrier you are using. Give it a bit and try again. I always have Pirate Ship in my back pocket as a backup purchase/print capability for shipping labels. Their discounts are about the same as eBay's and they have a couple of shipping classes that eBay does not offer, Priority Mail Cubic being the one I use on occasion.

Just use another seller of shipping services. As stated above try PirateShip. You can have them integrated with eBay to upload the eBay order and insert tracking number into eBay.

I use them sometimes just so I can also purchase their insurance of more than $100. Theirs is way cheaper than eBay's or the USPS.
