Haven't been able to print SCAN form for 4 days.

The SCAN form seems to be broken, when I try to generate I just get the message "Bulk label printing error".

Haven't been able to print SCAN form for 4 days.

Hi,

 

Did you by any chance cancel a shipping label before attempting to print the Scan form for the day?  The Scan form won't generate if you did.  

 

I recently printed 15 shipping labels in the morning and had a buyer contact me asking to change his address before generating a Scan form for the day.  I went into my eBay Shipping Labels folder and cancelled his original label.  I then printed a corrected address one.  When I attempted to generate a Scan form for those 15 packages I received the Bulk label printing error notice.  After several hours throughout the day of not succeeding at generating a Scan form I contact eBay Help.

 

eBay Help was not helpful at all.  I spoke with three employees including one supervisor and none had any idea on how to resolve the issue.

 

I took those 15 packages to USPS and stood there while a disgruntled clerk scanned each one and gave me a receipt.  I took all packages to the post office for the next two days too.  (Printed shipping labels on eBay but didn't attempt to print a Scan form).

 

In the end I had resolved it myself.  I thought if I waited until the cancelled label was recognized by eBay and the label cost refunded to me that Bulk Shipping would clear itself.  I didn't attempt to print a Scan form for two days to make sure the label printing data from days before would expire.  I had to wait three days before I could print a Scan form again. It's been working fine for me ever since.

 

Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention that I think Bulk Shipping Labels takes a full 24 hours to reset. 

 

If you don't wait for a day or two between attempts to generate a Scan form any bad label data will just keep trying to be added to a new Scan form.  And you'll get the error again.
