I've had this problem with ship station recently where it won't load
orders for me to buy the shipping label. When I go to the website all I see in
the order page is a cog spinning no matter how much I wait. I was wondering If
anyone else has had this problem and if so how they fixed it.

I don't want to change from shipstation because it's already integrated
with PayPal but if there is no solution does anyone have other shipping site
recommendations?

I’ve used PirateShip for several years with no problems. It can be integrated
with PayPal. I have also seen many others here speak favorably of PirateShip;
that’s why I decided to try it out.

I have that problem every once in a while. Usually I give it a couple of minutes
and try again. If it is still not working I close down PayPal and start over.
Usually works unless there is something really wrong on their end.

This has been my experience as well. Frustrating but always temporary.

This problem is getting worse and worse. We buy the labels in bulk and takes
forever to process and sometimes doesn't go through. It is terrible. No
customer service offered and can't reach anyone.

I stopped buying labels from PayPal when they replaced Pitney Bowes with Shipstation.
I now use PirateShip, which is integrated with PayPal.

Is PirateShip cheaper than directly through PayPal?

Same price (but using Pirate Ship is free and there are features that PayPal
Shipstation doesn't offer)

There are no extra fees for using Pirate Ship if that's what you're asking.
You just buy the postage, print the label, and that's that.

I guess I just was confused when you said “but using Pirate Ship is free”
I’ll do some more research tomorrow after I ship out the weekend orders
