Who decided TV & Movie character toys should all be moved into Action Figures? really?

Please tell me now that Magazines are being separated, that you can FINALLY remove the 'media mail' option completely from this category. 

Also, adding that new small shipping envelope option to CDs and DVDs would be great.

Thanks for the new coupon options though! That'll make it much more streamlined from how I was doing it. I don't know what I'll do with the stacks of Thank You cards now. LOL

Thank you for your feedback on the planned changes in TV & Movie Character Toys categories. We have combined this area with Action Figures as the products listed have a high degree of overlap. In the current structure it is not clear where to list a TV or Movie Character Action Figure as they are relevant in both spaces. Listings from this area which do not belong under action figures will be moved out to the correct  space, for example Plush toys will be moved to Plush. In addition these areas will have new Item Specifics introduced to enable us to still surface all inventory. Thank you again for taking the time to share this valuable feedback, and for choosing eBay! Kind regards, Arthur

Hi @disconlywarehouse - the Shipping team got back to me on this and said:

Thank you for this input on including CDs and DVDs in the eBay Standard Envelope. While it's not currently planned to include these categories in the near future, we are working to expand this shipping option to categories where it would be the most successful.

I haven't heard back from anyone on the Media Mail bit, but will keep you posted if I do!
