eBay, please add USPS Parcel Select back to the shipping options. Making things inefficient....

[vintageantique79]

Since I've had to switch to managed payments ( haven't we all ) I've been forced to use eBay to print some labels for shipping - mainly just first class items, because I normally use USPS Parcel Select - which is normally 10 cents cheaper, and that 10 cents adds up in savings for over 400+ items.

What bugs me is that eBay doesn't show Parcel Select on the print labels page as an option....and there is really no reason why eBay doesn't show it, but Paypal does....

Please add this option, eBay, or talk to the USPS and get it added.  Nearly every transaction causes me to copy and paste buyer info to the Paypal label maker and every extra step in the process can result in an error somewhere.

Hope you can get this fixed.

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 see a comment by an eBay staffer in post #15 in this thread:

But usually it's better to use Priority Mail.  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.  Plus of course there's insurance included with Priority Mail and sometimes a free box.

As a random example: You have a witch lamp that is showing me a shipping cost of $8.47, which is the cost for 3 pounds to Zone 4. The online Priority Mail cost for that package would be $8.72.

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).
