Hi everyone,

I've consolidated several threads into this one, so everyone can see answers in the same place.

The error message is a little confusing because it's generic. I'm sorry about that, but I can clarify here.

This error most commonly occurs when there is a formatting discrepancy on one of the addresses going on the label. It can be either the ship-to address OR the ship-from address. Even addresses that have passed validation previously may trip up the validation on subsequent attempts, so it is important to check both addresses even if they have worked before.

Go to http://www.usps.com and click to "Look up a zip code". Paste in the buyer's address. If the USPS has the address listed in different formatting, edit it for the label. Remove a business name if that differs. Change "street" to "st" if that's how the USPS has it. Remove trailing spaces if the address you pasted in has them. The validation can be finicky!

If the error continues to occur, do the same for your ship-from address. Even if it has worked previously, you may find that this resolves the problem.

I hope this helps!

Olivia

Anyone having trouble with printing a shipping label in PayPal? Whenever I click "Print shipping label" it just kicks me back to the home page.

Any thoughts?

My paypal shipping quit working a few weeks ago and it will not print any international shipping labels, US print fine just international, when I emailed paypal they said to clear cookies etc..  did it, it doesn't work, if I go thru ebay it still won't print international shipping except it charges your account every time you try to do it and you have to request a refund which takes up to 2 weeks to process, even the USPS is faster with your refunds than that and we all know how slow and ineffecient they can be, I even used the computer at school and still the exact same problems, so it's not my computer but paypal and ebay both claim it's my problem not theirs and that they are not experiencing any problems related to that.   I'm printing directly from the USPS website, that way ebay and paypal (one in the same) can keep your money just a bit longer why else would they not address the ever growing problem.
