·4 months agoThe issue is only with eBay's Standard Envelope option that usually provides tracking numbers beginning with "ESUS..." and is mainly used for trading cards, coins, and postcards. I see other people replying here that printing shipping labels work for them, but most likely it's for all the other shipping label options and not eBay's standard envelope (PWE).
I feel your frustration...I am also experiencing the same exact issue. I noticed it today around 7PM PST when I was trying to purchase the label for a recent order of mine. I was faced with this message: "eBay Standard Envelope, eBay International Standard Delivery are experiencing issues." Great, okay. I guess it's a system issue eBay is having right now, but when is it getting fixed? What's the ETA? Will there be a notification once the issue is fixed? I have an order I need to fulfill within the next couple of days, and I am just sitting here crossing my fingers hoping it'll be fixed by then...
It is kind of ridiculous; eBay should at the minimum provide a status update or some form of communication about it instead of having us wait anxiously in the dark...incredibly frustrating.
Edit:
Here is a reddit post where other sellers are experiencing the same issue:

Second Edit:
Good news - it worked for me just now, but I had to keep trying over and over and over again for hours. The only advice I can give is to just keep on trying. I hope you get your solution soon!

·4 months agoYep, others are experiencing the same issue, myself included, but only with eBay standard shipping labels. All other labels are printing without any problem.

·4 months agoI get labels 4-5 times a week (multiple labels each time) and have for 15 years and that has NEVER happened to me.
I have to believe it's a 'you' thing (your computer etc. and/or just 'DO IT AGAIN' and it usually works.
I don't believe it's an ebay thing.
