·9 months agoYour items are not eligible for eBay Standard Envelope with the category you have them in.
Click here for the full category path list. Those are the only categories where you can buy ESE. It will open in a spreadsheet.
I agree with the others. ESE may not be the best way to send your mixed media art, even if that category worked. I'd be concerned something like that might get damaged.
I hope you do not cancel the order. It's $5. Take a loss on this item and send it on. Earn some good feedback. Then, figure out another path forward. Until you figure out what to do, I'd pull your items down before someone else buys.

·9 months agoYour competition appears to be shipping by First Class Mail Letter, a type of postal service which has no tracking and is not sold on Ebay.
Listing in the wrong category to be able to use ESE would be foolish since it has an inferior tracking method and otherwise does not differ from First Class Letter.
Using either ESE or First Class Letter will require you meet rigidity standards which may hamper the safe delivery of your cards. There are rigidity and thickness requirements as well as restrictions on the envelops which do not allow plastic or cardboard envelopes.

Just have to change how you want to sell the item as...
Personally, a .78 stamp would work to ship it as well.
