"Ground Advantage" labels automatically changing to "Media Mail" ?????
That's right - twice this week my "Ground Advantage " labels have been automatically changed to "Media Mail" when printing them out!! What a surprise!! Of course this will not work. Just glad that I caught it before dropping them off at the post office. I checked my listings and they DO NOT have "Medial Mail" as the designated means of shipment (or even as an option). Now I have to void the labels, wait 3 weeks for a refund from USPS, and finally repurchase and reprint the label. What a mess!! Come on eBay.

My goodness, what a mix-up! It's not like the USPS just dropped this on eBay; they had months and months to work on programming.
My selling ID listed a new Thing a couple hours ago that, in no way, shape, or form, would qualify for Media Mail, according to USPS rules and regs. If/when my listing sells, I will be very careful when printing my shipping label.

·3 years agoI had a few where media mail was SELECTED but I caught it in time.
Interesting thing is, these were items that can't be shipped media mail.

·3 years agoYeah yesterday and today when I went to do bulk shipping one or two of my items (beauty products that are 4 oz) reverted to Media Mail instead of ground advantage. There is no difference between the packages that this happened to and other packages that stayed at Ground advantage. I switched all my listings at once to ground advantage on Sunday. Definitely a weird glitch and I'm glad I caught it before I actually bought the labels.
