Shipping option and shipping service mapping table


The table below sets-out some of the most frequently selected shipping options and last mile shipping services use by eBay sellers, which have been approved for use by eBay. Please try to use an appropriately matching shipping option and service in the below table, to avoid engaging in activities which may be deemed to constitute Shipping Service Downgrade Behaviors (as hereinafter defined).


If you chose to use a shipping option and matching service that is not listed in the below table, you must make sure to follow these two principles, to avoid being deemed to have engaged in Shipping Service Downgrade Behavior:


1.     Principle 1: The shipping service delivery time must meet the shipping time requirements of the shipping option that the buyer selected.


2.       Principle 2: When the buyer selected a shipping option which specified the carrier name, for example, “UPS Surepost”, you must either (i) use the selected shipping service; or (ii) upgrade to a better service from the specified shipping carrier (in the present example, this would be UPS).


Failure to abide by either of the above principles, will be defined as engaging in Shipping Service Downgrade Behavior.
