File Exchange Template: Shipping Error

I am trying to upload a File Exchange template with a Shipping Profile Name attached to one of my Shipping Business Policies. This particular shipping business policy has two shipping options for the buyer: the first is eBay Standard Envelope for Trading Cards up to $20 and the other is USPS Ground Advantage. 

 

When I just upload the file without any specific Weight API options, it errors telling me to provide Item shipping weights. So, I've added WeightMajor with value 3, WeightMinor with value 1, WeightUnit with value oz and now I am receiving the error:

 

"Error - Package weight is over the weight limit for service eBay Standard Envelope for Trading Cards, Stamps, Postcards & Coins up to $20. The maximum weight is 3 oz.|eBay Standard Envelope for Trading Cards, Stamps, Postcards & Coins up to $20|3 oz|3|IMPERIAL|""

 

I have tried changing the WeightMajor to 2 and that results in the same error message. I'm at a loss here and just spent 35 minutes on the phone with eBay and they were thoroughly confused as to why it wasn't working and blame it on a Global systemic issue that would only take a couple hours to resolve /rollseyes

 

Any help would be appreciated.

• WeightMajor = 0 (whole pounds - rounded up)

• WeightMinor=  3 (whole ounces - rounded up)

• WeightUnit =    lb (tells the system you are using imperial measurements)

 

You would also need dimensions when your profile uses calculated shipping

(but probably not for an envelope).

• PackageLength  (whole inches)
• PackageWidth    (whole inches)
• PackageHeight   (whole inches)

• PackageType       ("None", "Letter", "LargeEnvelope", "PackageThickEnvelope", "USPSLargePack"--for all carriers)
