Usually I have no issues scanning QR codes at USPS. We scanned it over 3 times in 10 minutes at my post office and it was never recognized. Is some system down? Do I need to go find a printer now to print my own label?

I got to the PO to ship 2 packages, and neither QR code worked. Unable to print. Has anyone else had this problem? Ebay says my items shipped b/c I bought the label, but it doesn't work.

Sold an item and generated a QR code. Took to the post office and they said code did not exist voided that one and try it again. This one worked, but it looks like I got charged twice for shipping
It's not clear if this issue is related to yesterday's problems that caused USPS Ground Advantage labels to be designated as Hazmat, even if the package contained no hazardous materials.

However, that issue was fixed with a few hours yesterday and all the reports of problems with QR codes so far appear to be for labels created today, so it seems unlikely to connected.
eBay community reps have not yet responded to the multiple forum posts about the QR code issue and unsurprisingly, eBay's system status page currently shows no outages or disruptions.
And as also noted yesterday, these technical issues couldn't come at a worse time as sellers are already stressed about rapidly approaching holiday shipping deadlines and potential fallout if orders are not delivered on time.
