OT: eBay no longer offers International Parcel Post

[sdkammeyer]

i could be wrong here but i believe this is a short term thing that will be fixed in early march.

the USPS is TOTALLY doing away with "parcel post" as of yesterday. it is now called something like "post select" and the change happened too fast for ebay to do anything about. i received an email about this last week, quickly scanned it, and then deleted it.

as far as i know, ebay will have their software updated and back on track in the first week of march.

again, i could be wrong and unfortunately i do not have that email anymore.

I think you might be right, parcel post did disappear. I did not receive an email though.

That's about right. It's more of a domestic issue. It usually only comes into play for larger sized and heavier boxes.

Unfortunately I've got a couple of those going out this week and Ebay wants the tracking info uploaded next day, so I'm going to have to take to the P.O. and manually upload the tracking number, instead of just printing the label online and leaving out for the Postal Carrier.
