What happened?
eBay is implementing new user agreements and logistics policies, comprehensively updating rules on sellers’ shipping methods and freight settlement. The new rules include stricter weight and dimension requirements, and sellers using eBay-provided shipping labels must follow the updated rules. The changes will gradually bring eBay’s logistics experience closer to that of other major ecommerce platforms, increasing requirements for sellers’ operational efficiency.

Sellers should closely monitor logistics-setting updates in the eBay seller dashboard and ensure shipping data is accurate to avoid freight overruns or damage to account performance caused by policy changes.
