Shipping

I listed an item with First class shipping and when it sold eBay put it as Ground Advantage and First Class was not available

First Class is a letter only mailing service now (First Class Package was rolled into Ground Advantage when that came out).  If your item fits in a letter envelope, you can ship it that way, but you can't print a shipping label from eBay, you would typically use stamps or you can take it to the post office and get postage for it there.  Note that it's untracked, so you risk losing an Item Not Described case if the customer opens one and you don't have tracking.

Hi @things-from-the-past32419 

It looks like eBay automatically replaced the First-Class shipping option with USPS Ground Advantage. This is due to a change from USPS, where First-Class Package Service was consolidated into USPS Ground Advantage starting in July 2023. eBay has updated its shipping options to reflect this change.

To avoid confusion in the future, you may want to update your listings with USPS Ground Advantage to align with the new shipping standards.

You listed with first class large envelope, which is not tracked as @jonathanbrightlight described. You can’t print a label, but you can hand write the address and buy postage at the PO.
