eBay shipping labels are currently down. eBay is aware and working to fix it; there is no ETA yet.
The system status board will be updated when the problem is fixed:
If anybody needs labels urgently, you can purchase anything but eBay Standard Envelope elsewhere. pirateship.com is a good option for USPS and UPS services.

Thank you for the heads-up! It's good to know that eBay is aware of the issue and is actively working to resolve it. In the meantime, your suggestion of using pirateship.com for urgent label needs is much appreciated. It's great to have alternative options available. If anyone else is experiencing similar challenges, exploring different services, especially for USPS and UPS, could be a helpful workaround. Let's hope for a swift resolution from eBay. Thanks again for sharing the information!

I foresee this problem affecting eBay long term by having its sellers turn to Pirateship, realizing it being much better than eBay’s postage label system, and never going back to eBay for postage even when the big is fixed.
It’s been a long while since I’ve used eBay postage labels, but I can’t recall any reason why eBay would be preferred over Pirateship other than the fact that it’s first-party versus third-party and if you use eBay Standard Envelope. Especially with international postage, that’s where Pirateship totally shines. Not to mention you can get credit card rewards points with Pirateship.
