Get it right in the first place?
Or use Firefox, which downloads the label, which you can then print at your leisure (which doesn't fix the ones that are wrong, but why would you pay for an incorrect label in the first place?)
And maybe look for a new printer - they are fairly cheap these days.

When they introduced it, I decided to wait and see what was going to happen. By the number of comments from unhapy users, and the system not working, I still don't use them. Stuck with Click and Send, yes it's a little dearer, but it works. Perhaps once it's been going for 12 months or so, and the glitches have been fine tuned, I may consider using it then. Why create more headaches for yourself.

contact ebay if you feel you have waited too long - by using the ebay labels you accept the following conditions:
If your cancellation request is approved, you'll receive a credit for postage and related charges within 25 days. The credit will be shown on your Seller Account, and on the following eBay monthly invoice.
otherwise, it's their game, their rules. I don't think it means that you pay twice however, I don't follow that bit of your post.

It takes that long because they have to wait to ensure the label isn't used after all. They have only your word for it that you are not going to use the label, and if they refund your money immediately, and you then go ahead and send a parcel using that tracking number they are out of pocket. The cancellation process to void the tracking number probably takes a day or so, and in the meantime if the label is used, it may well slip through the system. Besides, you are not actually paying out the money immediately, it is simply being added to your Ebay account and isn't due and payable till the next monthly billing anyway, so in many cases, the refund can arrive before you have to pay.

I've been using it since June and have had no issues, thought I'd switch to C&S when the 500gm discount died but as it was extended I am still using it. Have had to cancel three or four times and most of the refunds are credited quicker than the 25 days, and often before the monthly bill is due. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that you can't rearrange the labels when you print, I use A4 label sheets and would prefer to be able to print more than one to a page or at least position the label so that I can reuse the rest of the sheet for the next label, but the interface doesn't cooperate on this point.

Save as pdf in a folder as soon as label is generated. Then not only can you reprint if anything goes wrong, you can reprint it as proof of processing it later.
