Is eBay part of the USPS GDE Wholesaler Program?
I got an e-mail from Stallion Express saying that they will be phasing out shipping labels that aren't part of the Global Direct Entry Wholesaler program. This concerns me because I use USPS labels purchased from eBay. Is eBay part of the Global Direct Entry Wholesaler program? USPS is supposed to keep a list of approved wholesalers (https://pe.usps.com/imm_archive/nhtml/imm_archive_20220109/immc6_009.htm) but I can't find this list anywhere on their site.

·1 year agoStallion's contract with USPS is that they will no longer accept any third party postage that ships with USPS. They did tell me if you're buying third party postage with UPS or Fed Ex it's still allowed.
Their portal doesn't prevent you from being able to say you already have a shipping label and dropping it off and having them rejected it in Mississauga for not having the right kind of label on it. eBay labels are allowed, but Stallions contract is they can't accept them.
When Chit Chats made the change, they said they weren't going to force people to use their labels but took no responsibility for any problems we might have with USPS as a result. They may have changed their stance on that and I haven't been informed.

·1 year ago@sin-n-dex uses Stallion and is probably following this topic. You may also get more input by posting on the community.ebay.ca forums.
My knowledge is limited, but I'm under the impression Stallion is doing what Chit Chats did and trying to force users to buy labels through them.
