Support has been largely absent lately. Google indicates that there could be an issue with your UPS account, you might actually get a response from their support team: "The error “the shippers shipper number cannot be used for this shipment” typically means the UPS account has been suspended."

Though it could still be a Shipstation issue, there was a similar post a couple weeks ago: https://community.shipstation.com/t5/Carrier-Integrations/Unable-to-add-the-UPS-account-as-carrier/m-p/20680
