Printing postage labels with paypal

Really need help please if anyone can? I go through all the info putting in weight etc and get cost and won't print a label, I need to print today as I get today's prices, saves £3 on one parcel. I then get an email and Try to reprint and it has sample across the print out. Tried this 3 times on one parcel so has cost 3 x £2.70, not great arghhhh

Big thanks to anyone that can help please :)

    I have a lot of problems with paypal postage but have never managed to print a sample label before. I have none to print at the moment otherwise I'd go and check where the option is, but as per custardy's suggestion I do use IE .

    Internet explorer? Sorry how do I use that? I think you need a laptop, not an iPad?
  • On an iPad you don't. A little bit of advice for anyone buying a new iPad, but a surface instead. They actually work with the general stuff you want to use. Anyway PayPal postage is a little dodgey, so probably best to avoid using anything that isn't a laptop or computer.

    I browse on my ipad, and maybe answer questions and bid- but for trading I do it all on my desktop. I'm not techie enough to link my ipad to all the services I need online, but my desktop is all set up with my printer and my scales etc so I use that as an 'office'.

    we have laptops,smart TVs,streaming boxes,smart phones etc
    however IMO you always need a full fat PC for 'work'
    plus as a geek,it needs to be way more powerful than needed :D

    I keep trying to explain to my 'young uns' that I can't 'think' unless I'm on the desk top, once I sit in front of the large screen I just seem to be able to manage better.
