Media Mail Shipping Label Dilemna

[midsummersattic]

I sell Decorative Tole Painting books.  Before the changes eBay has made in the last year, I was able to list these books under the crafts category and ship the books out using Media Mail.  They do qualify as media mail.   I took a couple of years off eBay and restarted this year.  Now I find that due to all the changes made I can no longer mail out these books media mail.  eBay only allows First Class mail or priority.  I thought I could get around this by listing the books in a second category by  using Books and Magazines as a second category along with the Crafts category even though it was an extra 30 cents.  It did work once or twice but the last two sales I was forced into using First Class mail and lost money on the shipping.  Don't understand what I might have done nor do I know how to get these mailed by media mail with each listing that qualifies.  Is this a glitch or is it me doing something incorrect?  Need help.

You have to list books in the book category to get Media Mail rates.   You can still get Media Mail if you pay at the Post Office.  There was so much abuse this is how they corrected it.

I did list in the book category along with the craft category.  However, the book category was the secondary category.  Should I have put it as the first category and crafts then as the secondary category for the media mail to be available.  Mute point but maybe that's the problem.  I'll shuffle off to the post office tomorrow to take care of my immediate problem.  Thank you for your help.

You can purchase Media Mail labels from any online postage seller (except eBay) such as through PayPal at www.PayPal.com/shipnow.  Price is the same as at the PO counter.
