eBay forcing the use of "eBay standard international delivery"???

[bangordiscount]

I'm sending a package to a buyer in Australia. They paid for Priority Mail International (PMI) as the package weights more than 4lbs and First Class International (FCI) is not an option.

Of course when I go to create a label it tries to default to the eBay kickback service (eBay standard international). At first when I tried to create the label the other options were there (USPS Priority and Express International).

I left and came back later and refreshed and the only option now available is eBay standard international and everything else disappeared.

What is the work around?

I've been trying to print a shipping label to Australia all day and get an error message every time.  I shipped one yesterday priority mail but no luck today even with Ebay Standard International.  No room on the planes I guess.

I mailed something this morning to Australia that was lightweight so of course I used pirate ship to get their simple export rate.

Now that you mention it I thought their was an announcement on Australia but IIRC it was only slow shipping methods that were going to be affected

USPS has stopped delivery to Australia; was shown here as well as on the USPS website, and most news sources (almost a month ago). 

Can only ship DHL through Global Shipping or Ebay Std Int systems.

This is from the USPS website as of today:

*Australia’s service disruption affects Priority Mail International® (PMI), First-Class Package International Service® (FCPIS®), Commercial ePacket (CeP), International Priority Airmail® (IPA®) packets and International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL®) packets only.

^ Where does it mention Priority EXPRESS International? Should that not be an option through eBay?
