First time using this cluster* since it started. Took my package which had parcel select or priority and gave me all flat rate choices. I had to really look for Priority Mail. Weird. Mine has been fixed or back to normal, since the end of October. You sure you didn't have the Carrier Packaging box checked by accident? Item has been listed for several years. It would have been parcel select and then priority as the 2 main choices. It was too big for most of the Priority boxes. Not the right shape for flat rate. Overnight as the last choice.

I mean on the labels screen. You could have accidentally checked the box to show Carrier Packaging, it's right next to the other box & easy to accidentally check. It doesn't matter what boxes are appropriate, if you had accidentally checked the box, it would still have shown them to you whether it was appropriate for your item or not. Ebay would have no way to know that. I think you just had the Carrier Packaging box checked. I'll try to remember to put in a screen shot the next time I have something sold, so you can see what I mean. This problem was fixed months ago, I think this was a one-off or a user error or maybe since the listing is so old, when Ebay changed options, maybe it got grandfathered into the wrong option (in the listing) or something weird like that. The problem I started this thread about, was fixed months ago.

Zoe I saw that box. It is just too clunky of an interface. They need to go back to the old way. Whatever I selected as my shipping method should be what they show when going to ship.

Ok, good b/c I had another sale but forgot to screen shot LOL. It is clunky, but so was the last one. I liked the way it was 3 ago. But, I disagree about what should show as first. I think whatever the BUYER selected as the Shipping Method should be the first one they show & that's what it's been doing since late October, when it was fixed. I've not seen anything about it not working on the Ebay boards either, once they fixed it in October. Not sure what you're seeing, if it isn't the Carrier Packaging. Weird.

That was eBay's usual lame response to the slow-down in delivery. For some reason they think we sellers are so stupid that we'll just duhhhhhhhhh go for the priority rather than the shipping we listed and the buyer selected. It's similar to their "use fed-ex and UPS because USPS is slow" like the others aren't. I just put it down to knee-jerk responses and ignorance on their part.

Yup, that's why they did it. They fixed it very quickly tho' b/c of all the complaints.

I'm still getting periodic substitutions in shipping method, though.

It's much less infrequent, but still pops up. I have no idea why.
