Why won't Ebay offer 1st class shipping as chosen method when mailing.

Question

I listed the item as first class USPS postage (weight below 15.9 ounces) and package size correct. Yet when printing shipping label, Ebay does not show first class USPS as an option, only the ground advantage which is more costly.

USPS has made changes to their package services starting Sunday, July 9th. 2023 They have combined USPS First Class Package, Parcel Select, and Retail Ground shipping services into the new Ground Advantage service. Ground Advantage still offers the below 1 lb options that First Class Packages had. There have been rate increases since the change, this is why you see a higher price for that service over the old rates.
