**Title: How to Create a Shipping Label with PayPal and Resolve Common Issues**

Hello everyone,

Are you having trouble creating a shipping label with PayPal for your Shopify store? Have you encountered issues when trying to print a shipping label or submit your request? This guide will walk you through the process of creating a shipping label with PayPal and address some common issues that you may encounter.

### Why Do You Need a Shipping Label?

A shipping label is essential for shipping packages to your customers. It contains all the necessary information, including the sender’s and recipient’s addresses, the package weight, dimensions, and shipping carrier information. Without a proper shipping label, your package may not reach its destination.

### How to Create a Shipping Label with PayPal

1. **Log in to Your PayPal Account**: First, log in to your PayPal account.

2. **Go to the Shipping Section**: Navigate to the shipping section. Depending on your account type, this may be under the “Tools” or “Merchant Services” section.

3. **Enter Package Details**: Fill in the package details, including the package weight, dimensions, and shipping destination.

4. **Calculate Shipping Cost**: Once you have entered all the details, PayPal will calculate the shipping cost based on the carrier you choose.

5. **Purchase and Print the Label**: After reviewing the shipping cost, you can purchase the label and print it.

### Common Issues and Solutions

1. **”Unable to Submit Request” Error**

If you encounter an error message saying “unable to submit request,” there could be several reasons:

– **Incomplete or Incorrect Information**: Make sure all the package details, including the weight, dimensions, and shipping address, are accurate and complete.

– **Insufficient Funds**: Ensure that your PayPal account has sufficient funds to cover the shipping cost.

– **Browser Issues**: Try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.

– **PayPal Account Limitations**: If your PayPal account is new or has not been verified, you may face limitations. Verify your account by providing the required documents.

2. **How Long Does PayPal Take to Review Your Information?**

If you have submitted your ID or other documents to PayPal, the review process typically takes 2-3 business days. However, this may vary depending on the volume of requests. You can check the status of your submission in your PayPal account.

3. **No Customer Support Contact**

One of the frustrations many users face is the lack of direct customer support contact. However, you can reach out to PayPal support through their website. Log in to your account, go to the help section, and look for contact options such as live chat, email, or phone support.

### Alternative Solutions

If you are consistently facing issues with creating shipping labels through PayPal, you may consider the following alternatives:

1. **Use Shopify Shipping**: Shopify offers integrated shipping solutions that allow you to print shipping labels directly from your Shopify dashboard. This can save you time and reduce errors.

2. **Use Third-Party Shipping Apps**: There are many third-party apps available on the Shopify app store that integrate with different carriers and allow you to print shipping labels.

3. **Contact a PayPal Representative**: If you are unable to resolve the issue on your own, contact a PayPal representative through their support channel. They can help you identify and resolve the issue.
