Found the problem. Paypal now requires phone numbers of both sender and reciever of package outside of Canada. It is a pain, but I have put smething to that effect in all my listings. Sent one yesterday with both #s and I was able to print the label. Would be nice if Paypal tld us abut this change...

Try it and let me know if that fixed the issue for you too.

I have been having this problem for months most times I end up going to my post office which is inconvenient now as I am disabled and no longer drive . Paypals shipping labels are really stupid you have to go backwards and forwards to use their label printing -- I keep trying to use the ebay original shipping label and get the same message you do -- PayPal is trying to force us to use their stupid printing labels by blocking the ebay ones --- Please get paypal to give back our right to use the printing lables we prever --- Every ebay small seller shoud complain I do

I am trying to ship from Canada. Any others having this problem? Sorted through previous posts and none have helped.

Reply To:  PayPal Shipping is not available. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I have received this message several times prior to paying for the shipping lable and was able to find the following solutions.

1) The buyer's address was too long. The label does not appear to want to work if there is too many characters. Sometimes breaking down the address onto two lines will help to solve the problem.

2) Canada Post does not ship to the address. If the buyer lives on some island in the middle of the ocean, then it might be rejected. The post office will be able to tell you if this is the problem.

3) Paypal does not want to ship to the buyer's address because of the high risk location.

Many thanks for the reply, I had taken a look at that and they do not apply -- It seems to me that it is PayPals new labels causing the problem, I have to  use their label printing which I dislike and there is no problem ! makes me feel like I am being forced to use their service which is a pain as there is more jumping about from one page to another .

Is anyone else getting error code 60017 after the required update to link their Paypal account to their Canada Post account?

Having the same error code but it's after completing a shipping, right after I entered the address, the custom infos, etc. and clicked print. It cannot print my shipping label and the code 60017. Shipping worked for one order we got but the second one didn't work.
