I no longer have the option to ship in an USPS flat rate envelope. Causing all my items to go priority or 8 day shipping. Is anyone else missing this function?

Are you having problems purchasing labels or setting up your listings? Your most recent pants listing offers a regular Priority Flat Rate Envelope.
If your problem is adding the service to the listing form, eBay made some changes to Padded FR Envelopes & Small FR Boxes which requires you to change dimensions for those services to appear. Read the below discussion @shaalushalom.

Ebay changed how it works. With no notice of course. You have to enter your package dimensions as 12” x 9” x 1” then it should show.

i was curious of the same thing OP was asking great info, I typically put these 7x4x4 boxes in the padded mailer and they fit and close fine, i also use 8x4x4 and wont give me the option if i use that even tho it still fits.

use the 12x9x1 size.
As stated eBay has monkey coded the issue, and you just need to change your dimensions, and press on until the unglitch what they have done.

eBay did some coding that created the issue
enter dimensions 12x9x1 (or smaller) and the problem should go away

Thanks I meant to type that in the listing and also just do flat rate cost priority mail. 10.40. the small box has been gone since summer for some reason. it works when i check out but not on the list for some reason when i list it. I just type the price in. hope fully they fix it quick i sent in request and so did some of my other friends that sell on eBay.

Yes. Seems to have happened to me. I sent magazine to Florida using Ebay Priority label and customer was told they owned an added $20.00 shipping. Of course they denied it and package is coming back to me. If I am charged, I will refuse it also. So sad.

That doesn't sound right @bloo3141 . What were the package weight/dimensions, what type of packaging did you use, and for what specific service did you purchase a label? How much did you pay for the label? Was it a flat rate label or a weighted label?
I'm not sure how your situation relates to the original post, which is about sellers having difficulty locating flat rate service options based on dimensions. More info on that as follows:
-----
When package dimensions entered on the listing form exceed eBay's programmed dimensions, eBay will not show you those shipping options when setting up your listing. To access these services, enter the following package dimensions:

I took a priority mail flat rate envelope filled with a shirt to the PO today and they refused it, they told me the envelope is only for documents and said my envelope was too puffy, not flat, and they made me use a padded priority envelope at higher cost. I was there the day before and they accepted a fat priority flat rate envelope.
