Regional Boxes have been around for well over a year now, but Ebay has stalled on support for them.
What they've done would be called Half-assed at best. One can print a regional Box A label, but one cannot specify Regional Box A as a shipping method to the shipping calculator.
It's "easy" to do: Regional Box A's cost the same as 2 lbs priority.
However, managing the difference by seller is, by my experience, very error prone.
Seller has to specify "priority mail" as the shipping method, then specify "2 lb" as the weight. When shipping, seller has to remember not to print a label for 2 lbs, but rather change it to Regional Box A. Easy to forget.
The other error trap is specifying the weight. If the calculator is specified with no weight supplied, the calculator calculates the minimum weight based charge, about $5.30. This error is hard to spot while proof reading the listing, because it is correct for seller himself for a regional box A.
Ebay: please give us a way to specify Regional Box A for a shipping method, and calculate based on that.
