I just scheduled a pickup for an EBAY shipping and when I got to the end

[Maraya1969]

it said that the item had to be shipping with 2-3 days and not general parcel post in order to be picked up. But I had something picked up before and I don't remember what I checked.

Anyway, I just checked that it was a 2-3 shipping and it's not. I hope they pick the thing up. It is going to fit into the mailbox and I get mail everyday.

What's the point of offering pick-up after you just paid for parcel post? And then telling you at the end that you are not paying enough for the shipping in order for them to pick it up? I hope they don't charge me extra somehow.

Anyone have any experience with this? It seems as if most EBAY items are shipping parcel post.

1. I've never heard of not picking up parcel post.

And I've had them picked up in the past.

I know that if you print out your shipping label,you have to use it in a certain amount of time(I think 24 hours) and,you can't use the free USPS priority mail boxes if your shipping parcel post.There are some size and weight rules,but,I've never had anything my carrier wouldn't take based on whether it was priority or parcel.

2. Thanks for the information. I don't know why they have that one the site

They won't let you get to the next page unless you change the check box.

Anyway, I caught the mail carrier today and gave it to him and put a note for the one coming tomorrow that it has been picked up.

This shit is getting to be more than it's worth.
