First Class small items now defaulting to priority labels by eBay....

This week all of my FC items are defaulting to priority shipping when I go to print the label. These are all small items, small envelopes weighing no more than 4oz. I rarely sell anything higher than 10oz and always list and use first class. Now I have to stop and go slowly through the shipping label page as it is automatically defaulting to priority. It is time consuming and highly annoying. Every single one of my sold listings are doing this. 

 

Before anyone answers, I get that USPS is slow these days and eBay wants to "suggest" that all sellers use priority. However I don't use priority as it stops my sales because my items have little to no weight on them. My buyers would be paying too much for that service. It is never requested of me by any of my buyers.

 

It seems eBay has arbitrarily decided to default some sellers listings to priority without communicating that in advance. I haven't seen anything about it anywhere. I'm posting this both as a warning if you haven't noticed it and in case anyone knows any way to avoid this. I don't see any way to alter this from my end. Thank you....

Re: First Class small items now defaulting to priority labels by eBay....

For the past week my Priority was 'upgrading' itself to FedEx Overnight, that is until yesterday, now all is well.  For every label I printed I filled out the star rating survey at the bottom of the page to complain. 

 

The squeeky wheel got oiled.
