tiresome paypal postage

Has paypal postage completely given up now or is it just me?

I've been working a long day contract , coming home late and wrapping things- all my airmail and 1st class items have their postage labels printed out via paypal. Two evenings this week I had the error message 'paypal postage not available' so had to stamp and address parcels myself. I'm just retrying this morning and still can't print anything.

So has the system just given up or am I just unlucky in that it never works when I need it?

    Royal Mail online postage is totally down so probably not Paypal's fault this time.

    Considering the time of year you'd think RM would have a back up system or one that works, but then again it is Royal Mail.

    I guess the RM managers managed to miss that people were being online early to beat last years shambles and Ebay sales are included in that.

    So today they decide to take the web-site for print @ home postage offline! It's not like I've got loads of parcels I wanted to get ready to drop into the Mail Centre 1st thing Monday or anything...:mad:

    Yep, paypal postage (which is associated) hasn't worked since mid week for me trying it late at night and I posted a whinge to that effect yesterday.

    no matter the website at points it will need some updating at some point. Its the first time I have ever known it it down when considering MSE is down for maintenance every other week is pretty good.
