Ebay print postage lable not working

[broadbill550]

For the last 2 days when I go to print a lable i get a blank screen. Anyone else having this issue? Or know how to fix it.  Ebays lack of service department were their normall less then helfful selfs.

I printed a Small (500g) ebay postage label today ($7.55) with Chrome.
After ready tippy's post - I decided to play it safe & use Chrome instead of IE

I did a live chat this afternoon. I was told to go to the POST OFFICE too to avoid affecting my rating of delivery on time.

i checked Australia Post website regarding the new flat rate of 5kg. It said it would allow 5KG regardless a lesser weight printed. So we can use the old satchels of 500gram, and 3KG. The Australia Post will treat it as 5KG. Good News. We can keep using the old satchels.

However, AP prices are now $8.95+ for a small satchel, whereas eBay have been slack and are charging $7.55.

I know which I am using until eBay get themselves sorted out.

Then I will use the 50 500g satchels I already have.

Because on top of the $7.55, we pay extra on eBay fee and PayPal fee. So eBay gives seller some discount on postage (this WAS the answer I got from live chat when I complained the incorrect postage rate calculated by eBay and undercharged buyers )

You really need to have a look at what fees you are paying. Each charge is individually listed.

Both eBay and Paypal charge their fees on the TOTAL amount of the transaction, regardless of the postage method used. It's been that way for years.

Yes, eBay postage is discounted compared to the equivalent AP service, but you still pay FVFs on postage regardless of what postage method you use.

There is a couple of ways avoiding FVF on postage. We had one buyer emailing us their Australia Post PrePay Postage Barcode which I printed on my printer. I posted to buyer as they could not pick up locally.

If your listing includes postage and the buyer pays postage, eBay will charge FVFs.

If the buyer is mug enough to trust you (given your willingness to bend the rules) then, yes, you can avoid fees on postage. Just the same as pickup.

Which is unlikely to happen often. The thread is about printing eBay labels. If you post using them, it is significantly cheaper than Australia Post, especially until eBay update their prices.

If you post and the buyer pays for postage, FVFs will be charged. No ifs, buts or maybes. AP Prepaid Postage barcodes are NOT a way around it. How many people have one?

Bottom line - you pay eBay FVFs on the total transaction. If you charge $x for postage, that is what you get charged on. If you can send for less(currently by using eBay labels), you win. If you can't, you lose. It pays to keep on top of your business, even if you have a whole 162 listings to manage.

I have been using IE all week with no issues.

Same here - I downloaded Chrome today and was able to print a label - Finally - cannot print it from Safari - Still an issue and was told to go to the Post office twice - Obviously still have technical issues with this - Frustrating
