  1. People like to complain. Went into Business policies on Ebay and updated each shipping policy to Parcel Select/Ground Advantage. Went to print a label for a sale and Parcel Select/USPS Ground Advantage came up and printed a label with had the big new “G” for Ground on it etc. Ebay still had 1st class package as option as well which will print up as Ground it said. Price appeared to be same to me for my 8 ounce package. No big deal here.

    1. All labels for Ground Advantage printed on Ebay are $2:00+ higher than Pirate Ship. Also, you cannot enter tracking numbers on your Ebay “Awaiting Shipping” page as all you get is the broken wheel rotating and it never stops. In order to enter the tracking numbers for labels purchased off Ebay, you have to go to the Item Order Page and then enter the number(s) there. This started as of today, Monday. Ebay has had more than enough time to get this straight and still they don’t know what they’re doing. A lot of Sellers are going to be dinged when they can’t enter Tracking Numbers because of Ebays lousy programming.

      Also, why is it an option to still pick First Class Package anywhere on Ebay because it’s gone now effective Sunday the 9th.?

  2. Correction to part of my last Post. Apparently Ebay caught the problem and has now fixed the price in the labels. It only took them until almost midnight Monday. I’ll stick with the lousy programming & Tracking Number snafu comments though.
