USPS Priority Large Flat Rate Board Game Box not an option under eBay Shipping

I  have a Priority Large Flat Rate Box (Board Game) with the dimensions 23-11/6" x 11-3/4" x 3".  I would like to ship a sale in this box, but eBay does not give me the option to select it.  Instead it only gives me "USPS Priority Large Flat Rate Box" with the dimensions 12" x 12" x 5 1/2".  USPS.com still offers this RETAIL service for the larger Board Game Box on its website https://postcalc.usps.com/Calculator/MailServices?country=0&ccode=US&oz=23805&omil=False&dz=85083&dm...

and still provides the boxes for free.  https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-large-flat-rate-board-game-box-....

 

Can anyone confirm whether or not eBay would allow me the use of this box through its shipping service?

Has anyone used this box through eBay after February 2019?

 

This would mean the difference between $17.08 for the Flat Rate Box and approximately $38.16 for my own box (Priority or Parcel).

 

My last option would be to walk in to USPS and pay the retail, then fill in the tracking number.  However, that is not something I would like to make a habit of, if I don't have to, especially when the Retail insurance is only for $50 at the post office vs. $100 through eBay.

Ok, and I can still use the ebay Large Flat Rate Box shipping label with these USPS Large Flat Rate Board Game boxes?

The reason I asked to double check is because if you go to print out a shipping label within ebay and select the USPS Large Flat Rate Box option, it shows the dimensions of the box to be different than the Board Game box

Why does the government have to make everything complicated?

 

Instead 2 medium and 2 large flat rate boxes, why couldn't they have

 

Flat rate A, B, C, D, E, F, G, etc.     each one different.    And they could eliminate regional boxes as well.  

those are basically just flat rate with, different sizes and a different name..  

They have to do everything way more complicated than it has to be.

NOT. The "regional rate" box is distance based for cost.
