Hello, you are not alone, I had a BIG problem with PayPal shipping this past week. PayPal left their old shipping format up, at least it was still coming up when I clicked the "create a shipping label" link......I purchased a shipping label to Munich, Germany online, or at least THOUGHT I did.....It allowed me to print the label, and I took the package to the UPS store, and they processed it as usual. About two weeks later I get an invoice in the mail from UPS asking for the amount I thought I had paid. I go back to my PayPal account, and the record of the transaction had disappeared, and then I checked my bank account and they never took the money out. So I went the UPS store and the clerk there, a good guy by the way, called the main UPS office and they let me pay by credit card over the phone to speed up processing, as the package was stuck in their warehouse in Koeln, Germany for days. UPS finally delivered the package to the Munich address today. Now I have a problem , because I only use UPS for international shipments. The mail is NOT an option. The clerk at the UPS Store suggested I try to set up an account with UPS directly, and that I should be able to get a good discount with UPS. PayPal really dropped the ball on this. I think PayPal wants to get out of the shipping thing altogether, and probably lose users as well. Either that or they are grossly incompetent.
