Packlink playing up?

I'm struggling to print postage for Packlink / hermes packages via ebay.

I'm getting stuck in an infinity loop of trying to agree to the app using my data.

Anyone else had the same issue, and if so, any solutions?
I've tried different browsers....

    * Safari (Mac):

    Please please PLEASE don't use Packlink. They have zero customer support. My eBay sale has been undelivered for TWO WEEKS now. They only have online chat, no phone number. I have been in a queue to online chat for 45 minutes and I'm 7 in the queue. Avoid Packlink

    I can second that. Hermes misplaced an item I sold, fair enough, they were easy to deal with; just wanted 48 hours to search for it then admitted it was MIA. It all went wrong when I started trying to claim through Packlink. I've had to provide the same information multiple times and they're incredibly slow.

    I'll be going direct to a courier for my next batch of eBay sales.
