I just had to try twice to get one bought, then I got a refund email for postage.
Not sure what is going on.

It's Stamps.com causing the issue I think with their address verification.
I can't print with another carrier here in Canada as it says it's failing
the Stamps verification.

Downdetector showing lots of reports of issues for Stamps.com (which many postage
resellers like PayPal use for their address verification service in the backend).

Stamps' page for outages shows all as green, even for APIs. Perhaps something
changed in the APIs that killed all of the sites that connect into that particular
address verification service (or maybe I'm totally off the mark - this is
just based on the error I saw with Stallion Express in Canada when printing USPS
labels).

Prints some labels rejects others. I was able to print most by doing them 1 at
a time. Still can't get 1 label thru even though it says address validated.

SE in Canada responded to me that it's fixed, and it's working now for
me. Not sure if it's the Stamps side or has to be fixed on the other platforms.
I'd try again now with PayPal and if it's still not working, there's
something they need to fix still (guessing API related).
