Last week it was the double label download ... this week its the NO label download ... so now the Print link opens but no label.
Okay, we'll try the sight unseen "Print" function ... sadly, it doesn't work because the next screen states the file is not fully loaded ... errnt.
So once that little screen is cleared one has to "Download label" so it opens as a pdf ..
And of course doing this means some more pointing and clicking ...
Since I had a bunch of labels to print I tested waiting 10 seconds, then 20 seconds on that first Print screen to see if the pdf would load for printing but it never did. I tried the Cancel on that first Print screen and then tried the blue Print label on the eBay flow but just got another eBay screen with pale blue background but no label ever downloaded ... was forced to Download the pdf label. Oh well, no big deal, I'm sure next week it will be something new ...
Sadly, the this new label flow has NOT worked since the day it was launched, it always had some kind of a little glitch so put me in the column of those who said the old version worked fine, why change it?!? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!'

Oh my Mr Lincoln, you are having more problems than a math class lately and I have been sooo 😷 sick to even ( not that I could) help you! You are such a delight! Hope your family is well, you don't want this crud that I have and Dennis also! Merry Christmas!

Saw that happening this AM, and got ready to kick myself for not printing the labels last night. I have gotten reluctant to print labels until the actual day of shipping because eBay seems to be updating the estimates based upon the day of printing.
As with yours, mine opened the "print" screen automatically, then after I selected the printing size to fit my boxes a blank page was printed followed by, as in your example, the "warning".
Took me a few minutes, and some colorful words in the air to just close the auto opened print screen, and then click on "print label" to get things done.
Yup, lots of useless clicking to get where I need to be, but don't have to click off that extra "download" tab. I want to say one step forward, two steps back, but not sure it is that good😐
I thought it was something that I had done, or an update to my computer/printing procedure.
Breaking things that work is job security. I expect that whatever was done was to correct/improve something, but again the side effects are stressful.

@silverstatetreasureboxes Yes, it is my turn in the barrel ...

@buyselljack2016 Ahhhh, "colorful expletives" ... I bet you strung them together just about like I did LOL! They have no competence when it comes to programming or making business decisions ... and this is the same company that is "Managing" our payments ...

Today while I get the same screen coming up,................................... if I wait a bit it will actually print a label rather than a blank page. (not actually blank. had a line down, and to the left up in the corner, but the paper was still usable for a packing slip)
Not sure just how long it took. Was under a minute, but just clicking the screen off, and clicking the dark blue "print label" would have been faster.
Now it's a "toss up". Wait for it to be ready, or do the extra clicking. The only upside is that one way, or another at least I can get the label printed.
Only fiddling with one today. Had no time to wait yesterday with 8 to do.

UPDATE: It looks like the glitch is shifting ... now instead of NO labels it is opening one label and also opening TWO Print function screens (green arrows) ...
The issue with using the pdf print screen is I have to change the size from 100% to my preferred 90% (orange arrow). When I can use the other print screen (which does not work) I have the browser print menu set with the default 90% label size so this latest glitch version creates more work.

I had the double download thing last week and now the no label/printer error thing. I've discovered that everything works just fine in Chrome (I use Firefox for my Ebaying). Maybe this is some Ebay/Firefox combo glitch?

@steppingstone-vintage-ads A lot of it I am sure is eBay's inability to write code for different browsers. They've been pushing Chrome for a long time, it is not my choice. I think they stopped actively supporting IE a while ago ... they need to hire good IT people instead of shopping out their programming or using Summer Interns ... I use other sites but eBay is the ONLY one that is riddled with ongoing, unresolved glitches ...

I use Firefox and don't have/haven't had any problems. I'd check add ons which can make browsers do crazy stuff..........

I should add.........Better half uses Chrome and he's not had any problems either........
