Shipping option does not match buyer selected

Is anyone else having problems with printing shipping labels today?  

My buyer selected the shipping that I offered as "USPS parcel select ground" but the only options I'm getting now are for Priority Mail.

eBay has decided to phase out access to Parcel Select Ground labels, even though USPS has made no changes in their services or policies, and it's offered by all other online postage sellers including PayPal, endicia, stamps.com, etc. You can purchase Parcel Select Ground postage through PayPal at

www.PayPal.com/shipnow

But do compare prices before you do that. For Zones 1 - 4, the USPS online price for Priority Mail is  less than a dollar more than Parcel Select Ground. If you're a TRS you get a 3% discount when purchasing Priority labels through eBay, which often makes it cheaper than Parcel Select

IMHO Parcel Select ground should only be offered when necessary such as for hazmat or Oversize packages (i.e., length-plus-girth above the Priority limit of 108 inches).

Thank you, The package is clearly not envelope size (it's a box) yet that's the option that is popping up.  I am seeing options of regional rate box A or B but I don't know what that means.  Guess I better go research.

Thank you for your help!

This package is shipping across the country so not regional.

Just use regular Priority Mail package/thick envelope.

USPS produces special Priority Mail packaging which ships at flat rates or regional rates. The regional boxes have regional pricing; they can be used to ship to any ZIP Code and can save a lot of money because the cost is based on distance and not on weight.
