When will eBay include "Decals & Stickers" for their "ebay standard envelope" program?

[silverballdesign]

As the title states:  When will eBay include "Decals & Stickers" for their "ebay standard envelope" program? I have had very little issues with USPS in the past, but in the last year its been crazy. Im almost on the fence to stop selling on ebay because the post office cant get it together. I have dialed my selling back about 70% because I spend more time answering customers "Haven't received my item" questions.

This program needs to include ALL the small stuff across ebay and not just trading cards, coins and stamps. 

Super frustrating...and I dont even want to get started on the **bleep** APP (no one reads the descriptions anymore because you have to find it first)

I have shipped over a hundred items using the envelope program. USPS lost one. No other problems. Maybe you should go back to your previous process.

The program is only for trading cards, stamps and coin categories and NOT for the rest of ebay.  I want to use the program but cant since I dont sell in those categories. So, I have no previous process.

So, not sure what you are complaining about. Not sure what "small items" you want to fit in an envelope. The new envelope policy allows me to ship all of my items with tracking using eBay labels.

I see. Some of your stickers would fit. Many won't. EBay may never add them. If USPS is losing your packages, tracking won't help.

The best I had across all selling platforms was close to 8k orders for the year. About 95% of all my decals go out in envelopes. This program will help sellers like myself. For ebay just to restrict it to the 3 categories dont make sense.  All of ebay will benefit from this.

Did you ever figure out a way to use the ebay standard envelope for your small items?

As of 1/18/22 the option is still greyed out in the shipping options.

I have the same problem silverball design .I also sell on etsy it is a couple clicks on there to send decals in a letter for .53 with tracking .How do we get ebay to do the same

[silverballdesign]

I have tried everything I know of so I guess we will just have to wait and see....

It is strange they only allow a few categories to use it. It should be more like etsy and I hope soon they fix that up. If you ever find a way around it or when they fix it let the world know haha

Really strange why eBay won't include stickers and labels considering the maximum allowed envelope size is:  6.125” Height;  11.5” Length; and 0.25” width/thickness. And maximum weight of 3 ounces. 

Most stickers and labels are smaller than the allowed envelope size and weight. The price of USPS shipping with tracking is just so outrageous, and at times cost more than the sticker itself. For now I still buy my stickers and labels from ETSY sellers. Most Etsy sellers are more than happy to make you custom labels if not available on Etsy. 

Sticker and label category is one  one area where Etsy dominates all marketplaces, including ebay. Digital downloads is another.  The longer eBay keeps up with this policy the more buyers become loyal to Etsy. This could be reflected on there market caps: eBay $25B founded 1995;  Etsy $16B founded 2005. Etsy sells mostly low priced items. But eBay should reconsider and take care of those low priced items which would eventually result to sale of high priced items. Loyalty means to additional sales.
