Paypal printed postage...

Anyone know what the !!!!'s wrong with Paypal's printed postage interface? I'm consistently getting this:
We are not able to generate your label at this time. Your PayPal account was not charged. Please try again later.
  • Your request failed due to technical difficulties. Please click Pay and Continue to try again.
And by constantly, I mean 11 in a row on just one label. And I'm printing (well, trying...) nearly 20 labels at the moment:

    Yeah, i get that sometimes.......but it's just a Paypal glitch that happens sometimes.
    Very annoying, especially if you're in a hurry. :rolleyes:
    It gets back to normal after a few minutes though.

    I've given up using and now use RM online directly which also gives you more choice of postage methods

    I get the local post office to print the postage (why should I have to fund the printing costs?)

    I have to take the items to the post office anyway to get the cop/recorded delivery receipt. You'd still need to even if you don't bother with receipts but the item is too big to go in the post box. Just buy some stamps for the smaller items if you don't care about receipts.

    Only reason I use it is so I can use the money on PayPal from the sale of the item to pay for the postage.

    PayPal is really f**ked up today, its not letting me pay my outstanding eBay fees either grrr...
