I had this issue yesterday. I had selected collection and even though the label failed I still got confirmation from Royal Mail for the booked collection. So I had a collection but no matching label or eBay tracking. I contact eBay Support who gave me a link to generate the label. Trouble is this created a new label (new tracking number) without collection.
The adviser then suggested I cancel the whole sale, re-list and ask the buyer to purchase again. I said that was a very bad solution. He then said I should directly purchase a new label or book a collection with Royal Mail and eBay would refund the cost. I went ahead and booked the collection for 30p, but the advisor then said he didn't have authority to refund the 30p and I would have to submit a claim for an unused label via the help pages. This seems to be for a completely different scenario.
I was on chat for about an hour. They never provided any advice about the original booked collection with no label. I did manage to cancel that myself via the Royal Mail site.
What a complete shambles!

Well I'm hardly a newbie. If they are going to force feed Simple Delivery at least make sure the basics work and support staff are empowered to resolve issues. Thread has been running 11 months now.

Hi Marco , today I tried to generate a simple delivery Royal Mail label for three of my orders I get the following message.
"It was not possible to generate the label. An issue occurred while generating your postage label. Please try again in a few moments."
I have tried every hour to print the label but get the same message , has anyone else had this issue today or do you known if it is a system outage with Royal Mail or Ebay

Hi
It appears that my issue might be related to RM temporary suspension of collection services for my area.
We’re unable to book collections for your postcode at the moment.
It’s not you, it’s us… we sometimes have to stop offering collections in areas temporarily, and we hope to offer collections from your area again soon, but in the meantime you can use our network of drop off points to send all your items."
