It can get worse.
I talked with Paypal about the issue - they removed my automatic Ebay shipping billing agreement on file and told me to re-establish it. What they did not say was that it could not be done by myself on paypal. Ebay had to re-establish the billing agreement. At this point, I could not print a shipping label - error message. The only way around this was to try to create a shipping label and check the box that said to always allow Ebay to use paypal for shipping payments. Initially, this did not work. I went out and back in to Ebay and tried again. After a couple of tries, I finally got the "magical box" to show up where I could make that selection. I don't know how long this will work, but it worked one time. You may be able to print labels through multi-shipping paypal or directly through USPS (if you have an account). Of course, you will have to make a copy of shipping page to get the address. I thought this might impact my turnaround time and talked to another party at Ebay about my seller preformance, etc. Of course, I can appeal it should any shipment be late. Really? You are kidding. You know paypal is having problems. I had two choices - appeal it if it happens or contact paypal and provide them with a case number or establish a three-way conversation. POLICY, POLICY & more POLICY. I did not go back to paypal. Between paypal and ebay, I was transferred 8 times. Do not just accept any answer given by any customer service representative. Hold them on the line while you try to do what they requested. Chances are good you will not be able to do it and then they will have to look at it again (a good learning tool for them). Of course, you will probably get transferred to another department. In my case, actions taken by paypal caused shipping issues. Recommendations initially given to me by Ebay also did not correct the issue. I made that party stay on the line so that they could see the error message. I hope that my accounts are resolved but I am not sure of that. Paypal and Ebay were of little help. Use your "instincts." If it seems like they are just wanting to get you off the line and go on to the next customer, chances are, they are.
