Second that. The Flat Rate Large label is valid for any shape of USPS box carrying that designation; there is no further distinction by size or shape.
@Anonymous...? Appropriate Coaching in Aisle 5, please! 
(Actually I'm pretty sure that more details on the time and day of the conversation with CS would be needed in order to determine exactly who messed up, but perhaps a general reminder could be sent out with tips on Frequently Wrong Responses or something like that, to which this incident could be added.)

Hi everyone, I would say that since the price for these two packages is the same that the flat rate large label would be fine to use. I was able to find confirmation of these prices within the USPS DMM. That being said, eBay Customer Service would not be able to speak to all of the available services or package types that a courier may offer; since this box is somewhat "retired" (in the sense that it is available through special order from USPS based on the research I've done) it makes sense that a member of Customer Service would give guidance to use the label only for the package type we have listed within our system.
Again, the label in question should be fine to use for the package type in question based on it's shared definition as a Large Flat Rate box, with no price difference between shipping costs for the two packages. I can't say this with certainty, but it does seem fine based on what I've reviewed and the advice presented here by sellers.

Far from being "somewhat retired", this box is available just like any other when ordering free Priority Mail supplies at usps.com. As noted above, when purchasing postage through Click N ship at the usps site, they do not differentiate between this box and the original Large FRB.
The underlying problem here is that eBay has never updated their shipping pages to encompass this box, which is one of the newest of the available free Priority Mail packaging items.
