Here's the detailed list from the Domestic Mail Manual.  It hasn't changed in years.

Don't be alarmed by the ridiculous message that eBay sent out today, apparently to everybody who offers MM shipping for anything in any category.  It was even sent to sellers who only have DVDs listed!

99% of the time people ask this question is because 80% of the ebay sellers who list magazines try to cheat the system by using media mail.  We are not supposed to use media mail for magazines with advertising inside them regardless of whether they are currently in circulation or not.

Hello! It appears this email was sent with incorrect categories and/or listings. Given the USPS determines the eligibility of items that may be shipped using Media Mail - the email was intended to provide a heads up of sorts, for any sellers that may have been offering it incorrectly. We're not blocking any new/additional categories though, and you can expect to receive a corrected email soon. Thanks!
