Bulk changing to Ground Advantage format

[jimw1776]

Is there a way to bulk change 1st class listings to the new format? It'll take a long time to go through all my listings looking for 1st class shipping.

TIA

If you mean is there way to sort all your listings for first class items........no...  You can bulk edit listings to change the shipping........perhaps utilizing categories where you know all are first class..........i.e. men's ties.

I can't seem to find where to change the shipping.  All my listings in shipping category show "calculated"...so I'm going one by one. This is crazy

why? I intentionally left the listing stating 1st class and when I receive an order it states, "buyer selected USPS Ground Advantage". Has not affected me.

eBay has given sellers 30 days (perhaps longer) to update their listings. Eventually, listings that only offer First Class package shipping will show "No shipping service".

[traditonalproducts]

well, that explains it. Thanks.

So then I guess  we have to change them one by one.

sounds like it.. What a mess.  Isn't this a simple code that could be written by "the experts" to automatically switch all first class to the new shipping option? 1 by 1 is a pain, and doing it in bulk..you can't offer a 2nd shipping option. 200 listings 1 by one.. !

If you had a "Calculated First Class Shipping" (for example) Business Policy, just update that policy to Ground Advantage and it will update all the listings that were associated with that policy.

Took me about 30 seconds to update ~350 of my First Class listings to Ground Advantage.

I have a store..

 but I haven't signed up for Business Policy. Based on what you say about the ease of 1st class to Ground A w/ Business Policy ,now I'm wondering if eBay is pushing us into Business. Thanks for the advice.  I ended up doing a one by one transfer. It was tedious, but I was able to recheck and rewrite a lot of my listings at the same time
