Overview
On July 9th, 2023, USPS formally merged USPS First Class Parcel, Retail Ground & Parcel Select services into Ground Advantage.
eBay has indicated they have automatically converted any Parcel Select methods to Ground Advantage, but they are not automatically converting other methods. They advised that any Shipping Policies with First Class or Retail Ground options intended for packages must be updated by August 9th, 2023.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If these options aren't updated, eBay may reject new listings using these policies until the shipping policies are corrected. These rejected listings would appear in your Lister "Attention Required" tab for eBay Listings until manually updated.
