Parcel Tracking Labels on Letters

[airshark3d]

Good Day everyone,

So I purchased an item last week on Ebay from a seller in Melbourne. I got the package last Monday and was surprised it was in a padded bag with $2 stamps on it. From my knowledge, it is the stamp cost for a large letter. However, on the side of it, I see a "Parcel Post" Tracking label. I thought maybe the seller just placed it there as a dummy label but when I typed in the tracking, it was actually active. The item I bought was cheap so I don't think the seller would spend extra on sending it through parcel.

What's the go with these? Can those labels be used for letters? Or could it be the seller is well connected with a LPO so they are able to let it pass?

paper-jack, that was talked about by michelleoz@ebay.com 4 1/2 years ago, and she made a commitment to act on it, sadly until recently very little was done about it (with the exception of kh-stanley).

I would have thought that it wouldn't be hard to put some sort of auto-reply block on threads over 12 months old - but there you go ...................
