Error "Package dimensions exceeded maximum allowable limit for service"

[coastallifetreasures]

I am trying to list an item and am given the following error  "Package dimensions exceeded maximum allowable limit for service." The package weighs 6 lb 10 oz and the box is 31"x15"x12".  I was going to give the buyer the option to use FedEx ground, UPS ground or USPS Ground Advantage. What am I doing wrong? eBay will not let me list the item because of the error as stated above. If I figured it correctly, the girth is okay and the weight is okay for these services.

Your length is 31"
Your girth is 12+15+12+15 = 54
Combined Length and Girth is 54+31 = 85

Your package should be able to be shipped by all 3 services.

Do you have a service selected right now?

Try saving the draft and coming back in to see if you still get that error.

Reply back with an update.

✓ In all cases, your package is too large (length + girth) for regular shipping. You should consider local pickup or freight.

Your package is NOT too big to ship.
