Has anyone bought eBay labels on your phone on items to ship and when I went to the Post office the
QR codes didn't show up for them to scan. And it said they were shipped already. So I couldn't get the label.

·5 months ago@halo159 How close to buying the QR code did you go into the post office and ask them to print the label? Is this something you did from the car before going inside?
I ask because recently USPS implemented a new system to crack down on people shipping packages days or a weeks after buying the shipping label. With the new system, there is a slight delay between buying the postage and the label being valid. Some of this delay showed up a couple of months ago when the new system started, but those bugs got worked out. There is still a delay, just not the hours long delay that it was. It certainly can still be several minutes.
What I am thinking happened is that the tracking numbers were recycled by USPS. You bought your label and before the system reset, you took the QR code in and asked them to print the label. They couldn't do it because the system was still seeing the previous time the tracking number was used. If this was the issue, had you waited about 10-20 minutes, the label would have been able to be printed. Hopefully you will come back to let us know how soon did you try to get the label printed after buying it. Please tag me in your post so I see it.
You need to cancel those QR codes and try to get your money back.

·5 months agoI suspect the OP doesn't have a printer - the QR code is specifically for people who are not able to print the labels at that time - this includes me when I'm on the road.
People are not being very helpful in this thread.

·5 months agoThat's bizarre, as the QR code is for the USPS to only print the label. What exactly did the error say?

No. I would have no way of knowing when you went to the post office.

I print my labels with a thermal printer at home.
