    Default Shipping Options

    In eBay one of the shipping options was Parcel Select. Why is this not offered on eBid? eBid offers Standard Post but I believe those rates are higher than Parcel Select.

    Thanks

    Parcel Select - I don't see this option on the USPS site.

    I thought Standard Post was now Parcel Select, i.e. they are the same.

    I only see Standard Post on the USPS site. Seems they haven't changed the wording yet.

    USPS did use the term Parcel Select on their website when they attempted to change the name of Standard Post over a year ago.

    Parcel Select is Standard Post.

    I guess the attempted name change caused too much confusion, so they are back to Standard Post.

    So causes even more confusion! I am so glad it's not just we in the UK who have to cope with the fog of "improvements" constantly winging their way towards us!

    Can add even more to"the fog of "improvements"". Standard Post is also a name change. It was previously Parcel Post. Clear as mud, right?

    Apparently it is not more expensive. I just sold a 24 pound item and eBid charged the buyer zero for shipping (even with a $1.00 handling fee).
    My clutter

    I don't play the reserve game
