Ebay forcing USPS Ground Advantage on Standard Delivery Sales

jhssketchcards · 10-20-2025, 11:36 AM

Anyone else seeing this? I have 4 cards that sold Standard Delivery. Went make labels and eBay says there is an issue with Standard Envelope and International Delivery. It won’t let me purchase Standard Delivery label, and is forcing me to use Ground which is $5.

Was it 4 separate listings?

If so, you need to change the ounces from 4 to 3 or less.

You need to change the ounces to 3 or under. My guess is it’s showing 4 ounces due to 4 cards.

Wrong section. But considering that there was a global tech outage today, I would probably just wait a little bit for the services to be restored. eBay isn't "forcing" you to do anything at this moment other than be patient.

No it’s 4 individual sales.

Are they all under 3 ounces?

Need to update to 0 lbs 1-3 oz, select standard envelope shipping and update dimensions (if not already) to 11 x 6 x 1

It's a legit outage fellas. Has nothing to do with the weight. eBay posted a notice. But half my apps are still down so I have to assume it's all related to what happened overnight and will eventually come back.

I was able to print one early this morning. Maybe just got lucky on the timing. Also had one person buy four cards that had ESE. Note that it will default to Media Mail when you combine a shipment that exceeds ESE standards. I change it to Ground Advantage and adjust the weight when they buy that many.

Yeah. Its all good. I saw the comment about the outage. I messaged the buyers about it. Hopefully won’t be a long delay.
