Ebay Standard Envelope Categories

Hello all. Can someone help me find the categories that are eligible for the eBay standard envelope shipping? I have seen that option listed in some of my listings (even though I did not put it there) but when I go to purchase a shipping label I get the message that my category is not eligible.

I mostly sell craft supplies like yarn and flat items like small knitting needles.

I have not been able to find a list of eligible categories.

Thanks in advance

As @stainlessenginecovers mentioned, these are the only items that may be shipped using the eBay Standard Envelope (ESE) --

Eligible categories

As of Nov 2023, four additional categories are now eligible to use eBay standard envelope, expanding the service to eight categories. See the full list of category paths.

Patches
Stickers & Decals
Greeting Cards
Seeds
Trading Cards
Coins & Currency
Postcards
Stamps

In short -- just because it fits does not mean that it will ship in the ESE.

Unfortunately, none of your items qualify.

None of those items are for that envelope.

At this time, eBay Standard Envelope is available for select categories including trading cards, coins, stamps, postcards, stickers, patches, greeting cards, and seeds....

and only those UNDER $20 qualify to use that envelope.

Your stuff does NOT.
