Update on May 14th USPS rate change

As previously announced in late March, the eBay site and API behavior regarding Shipping Services will be changing, and API developers will be impacted. Developers of listing applications should be aware of new warning messages returned by the AddItem family of calls when using old services. They should also be aware of the new and eliminated Shipping Services indicated via GeteBayDetails. Prior to June, developers should make changes to listing templates to stop using old Shipping Services.

The eBay Announcement Board post communicates eBay's broader business and policy-decision making to the eBay Community on the upcoming USPS rate change that you can communicate these details with your customers.

For details on the USPS rate change and the eBay API, see the the special May 2007 USPS shanges API Documentation supplement. Sandbox testing access to preview the new USPS Shipping services and AddItem/ReviseItem/RelistItem warning message behavior will also be available this week.
