Shipping rate that appears when trying to print labels is the wrong one

[harpananda]

Two buyers last night selected  and paid for the Parcel Select Ground rate for their large boxes to be shipped.  When I tried to print the shipping labels, they defaulted to Priority Mail Flat Rate ENVELOPE.  There was no way to select the proper rate from the drop down menu with available rates, as it was not listed as an option.  I had to either select another Priority Mail Rate and pay the extra amount myself, or else hand-address the boxes........ or find another way to print the labels through paypal.   Anyone else having this problem?

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. When it's not offered, the shipping label page usually defaults to the first option on the list which is flat rate envelope. 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).
