Standard letter untracked option is missing.

So I can not now offer a cheap Standard letter untracked option in my postage methods. It was there until yesterday, now gone. Who would want to purchase a $1.50 2 cent coin and have to pay $9.70 to get it posted. It's only nickel-and-dime stuff but with excessive postage is nothing-and-gone. Is this only happening to me or has this become the latest eBay policy?

Re: Standard letter untracked option is missing.

Obvious to me that eBay's automated monitoring of my sales shows that I don't use their preferred options for delivery. They are missing out on their cut.

So I resort to calling my postage method Standard Parcel Delivery and charge $1.50 or $6.00 registered.

Problem resolved. Thanks to those who gave meaningful advice.

You can buy prepaid tracked envelopes over the counter for $3.15.   I wouldnt send anything untracked even if its only a 2 cent coin

You're right - the letter options are gone.    Means a call to ebay, I'm afraid.

I disagree.    Plenty of small items are still sent by letters, untracked.

Not sure how you can disagree,  I said ""I wouldnt send anything untracked"",  which I don't.  Fact.

Sugar, well I could have said "it is not helpful to say 'You can buy prepaid tracked envelopes over the counter for $3.15' when the original poster is saying that he has a problem choosing letter (either tracked or untracked) in his postage options"  but I didn't.
