Sold a few things on eBay, didn't know GPS was a thing or that it was on my listings, so have ended up selling some things abroad. Purchased postage to the UK address but when the label printed on a couple of them it printed double sided, with a proof of postage stamp sheet on the back of the parcel label.

Tried to print another copy, you can't. It says to void the existing label and start again, so I did that, but now it won't let me purchase a new label. I can't sort any postage at all out for the items now.

What is going on and how do I sort it out, anyone any ideas?

Copy one side onto another sheet of paper?

GSP is default; I always turn it off. I also don't pay a premium for postage labels, I write the address on by hand and go to the PO. That's quite expensive enough.

NB You can actually ring eBay; I found them very helpful when I unwittingly incurred two sets of listing fees.

Actually, the postage seems to be about the same as dropping at the Post Office, certainly not enough difference to stand for 5 minutes a parcel while they create the labels etc. I presume that's because they don't want the queues they used to get when I'd turn up with 40-50 little parcels to weigh in. I did look at Collect+ who have a drop off in the village, they were about £1 an item more expensive.

It's too late to copy anything, the labels are void. But knowing what I know now I should have photocopied one side at work and posted on the way home. I wanted to post on the way in so it was done.
