The Service is known as Ebay Standard Envelope.

It works for some sellers and not for others based on how one packs their items.

 

It is inferior to standard USPS tracking.

Unfortunately @whateverdadhas , even though item 257078075587 is a postcard, it was not listed in an ESE-eligible category. You cannot purchase a label for shipping it in a plain envelope.

 

Why did you list it in this category and in item specifics say it's signed? It's not autographed. Don't be surprised if your buyer files a not as described claim.

You will need to either ship untracked with a postage stamp, or upgrade to package and ship tracked with Ground Adv. Note the physical packaging has to qualify as a package to ship Ground Advantage.

 

Find a downloadable ESE category list here.
