eBay-FIRST CLASS WEIGHT CANNOT EXCEED 3 OUNCES

I cannot stand it.  I have tons of stuff to list and eBay is stopping me with this one STUPID warning that is not even correct.  When are you going to fix this????

 

I have about a hundred listings waiting to list  and it doesn't look like they are going on eBay now.

 

such absolute stupidity.

You've selected "First Class Envelope" or "First Class Flat", when you need to select "First Class Package". There's nothing for eBay to fix. This is user error.

You are correct, but with one error.  I did not choose letter.  Just like I don't choose Large Package on listings, but I shows up that way anyway.

 

But thank you for the fix.  I really do appreciate it.

"Large package" is the default selection; it only shows up in your listings if you don't select what you actually want. It would be nice if we could all set up our own defaults, but that would probably cause the eBay programmers to turn into puddles of goo.

You can set up your own defaults through the use of templates.

Re: eBay-FIRST CLASS WEIGHT CANNOT EXCEED 3 OUNCES

There is another issue now that I've encountered. When I try to ship a first class PACKAGE, it says the max weight allowed is 15.9 oz, which is absurd. But the max weight for an ENVELOPE is 70 pounds! Has anyone else dealt with this?

First class max has always been 15.9oz. I think you are confused on the envelope part.

For first class, the max weight is 15.9 oz. 

 

For priority FRE (flat rate envelope), the max is 70 lbs. (I challenge anyone to get 70 lbs. of anything into a FRE!)
