Media Mail not working for latest listing
I am selling CDs, and almost always ship with Media Mail - in my most recent listing, It is not allowing me to utilize media mail.
I have verified that I have the listing in Music/CDs, and Media Mail is an option. It works fine in my previous listings. I have reached out to EBay and they initially said it had to to with size and shape, but that is incorrect as it does not seem to matter what weight and size it is (within reason) and again, those very same weights and sizes continue to work on my other listings.
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue.

OP5 months agoUpdate: I have not been contacted by EBay in response to my escalation request. However The option has been restored to the listing in question and is working as it should. Thank you to all who responded!

Mentor5 months ago@frontroguy. I have seen other reports of media mail issues.
I am going to tag community staff....
Is there a known issue with Media Mail?

OP5 months agoI appreciate that. I do have a ticket in with EBay but am not convinced it went to the right people. The person originally told me it was due to what I was shipping. When I said I have hundreds of other listings of the exact same product they said they would escalate.
Bummer part is it is a 48 hour response time...

Mentor5 months ago@frontroguy. I hate to say not to expect the problem to be fixed unless it's wide spread.
Have you tried another browser? Turn off any pop up blockers and script blockers.
As a workaround you could just select Economy Shipping and enter a flat rate as Media Mail is the same price no matter the US destination.
You should still be able to select Media Mail when you buy the label. This has worked for me in the past.
If you can't buy the label from ebay then you can buy one from the post office for the same price. Media Mail shipping isn't discounted for ebay shipping.

OP5 months agoI am an optimist so I hope something happens. I tried the Economy shipping idea, it does not come up for me. I have all of the other services though. This really slows me down, so kind of a bummer. But If I have to bring em to the PO and stand in line I guess I gotta do it...

Hey @comics-scifi-collectibles thanks for the tag. There are not any known issues right now that would cause this. However, in the meantime I'd recommend the option you mentioned upthread, or use pirateship to print the label.

OP5 months agoThanks for the prirateship recommendation. It allowed me to get all of my orders out without losing a ton of money. Still hoping for resolution, but even if something weird happened on the one listing I am hoping it does not carry over to future listings.
Thanks!
