eBay Standard Envelope & International Standard Delivery Unavailable Due to AWS Outage

eBay sellers unable to purchase Standard Envelope or International Standard Delivery shipping labels through the platform as Amazon Web Services outage has massive impacts across the web.

Sellers expressed concern in the eBay community forum and across social media today as labels for these special services are not able to purchased elsewhere, which could put accounts in jeopardy of late shipment "dings" if the issue is not resolved by the end of the day.

Ebay standard envelope is down again

Well, looks like im gonna get screwed again on ebay standard envelope, it says Ebay standard envelope is unavailable at the moment, I have to ship by tomorrow so if it isn't fixed im gonna pay 5.20 rather then .74 ....this is not the first time.....really sucks

Depending on when it starts working, as long as you purchase the ESE label before "midnight" (or whenever the cutoff time is for the day), it registers as being shipped on that day. It may not get to the post office, or marked received on that day.

I am in the same boat here, I didn't do all my packaging and labels Sunday night like I usually do for the weekend orders, got one label before it went down.

Any ETA on when eBay Standard Envelope and eBay International Standard Delivery will be unbroken?

The error messaging is doubling-up as well.. just FYI.

eBay updated the error message being shown on the label purchase screen later in the afternoon to confirm that the disruption was in fact related to the massive outage experienced by Amazon Web Services (AWS) today.

Please be aware that eBay Standard Envelope and eBay International Standard Delivery is experiencing issues at the moment due to ongoing AWS outage. We apologize for any inconvenience and if affected, ask that you try again later.

While eBay has not made any specific announcements about seller protections yet, it's likely they will at least offer protection for late shipment defects and negative feedback, similar to their response in the UK to a recent technical issue impacting Royal Mail tracking.
