The United States Postal Service is consolidating its ground shipping options by combining USPS Retail Ground®, First-Class-Package®, and Parcel Select Ground® into a single service: USPS Ground Advantage™.
Here’s what to expect on eBay beginning July 9th
Printing labels on eBay
- We’ll update labels automatically. If you had a sale with First-Class Package or Parcel Select Ground, the label will print and display as USPS Ground Advantage™.
- If you printed your label prior to July 9th, USPS will continue to accept packages with the previous services for a period of time.
Updating your listings on eBay
Ground Advantage will be available as a listing service on eBay beginning July 9th:
