I think it helps the listing appear in Google Shopping results- not positive as I have no direct knowledge of how things show up in Google Shopping. However, that's one of the suggestions ppl have regarding getting items in Google results.

Hi all, Not sure if this is the correct board, if not I apologize in advance. I am trying to optimize my eBay listings for comic books. There is a space to enter UPC, but when I enter the entire UPC of a single issue the form will clear. It will only let me enter the UPC for the entire series. For example, the full UPC of The Vision #3 is 75960608363300311 . The UPC section will not allow this as an entry but it will allow 7596060836330. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Julie

Well, the only problem with that is there are plenty of comics without ads. Expired, new, old- no ads. The only thing that could be considered an advertisement would be the publisher imprint and possible next issue solicit. If this qualifies as advertisement, then that's fine but I have never seen a textbook without a publisher's logo and other incidental ads. I asked specifically about comics WITHOUT ads and was told-as you can see in USPS response- that any comic, regardless of presence of paid advertisements is not media mail because they are serialized. However, again in cases of one-shots without ads- they aren't allowed either.

Exactly. They just can't stand to say that they don't have any real reason whatsoever to deny comics being educational. My 9 year old has dyslexia, and comics are the only thing he enjoys reading enough to work through.

Also, the main reason media mail is a good option is so you can ship them in something better than a POS cardboard mailer. Given the level of care that all packages are handled (priority, media, whatever) by USPS, I like to package my comics in cardboard mailer bubble wrapped inside another cardboard box. Maybe if their service didn't suck so much in the first place, I wouldn't have the extra weight. Still double standard that makes no sense. I use FedEx SmartPost for my packages, and I never use media mail because I don't like my customers to receive something ripped apart, stepped on, and four weeks after they purchased it.

I don't mind at all shipping with a service besides media mail. I just think it is crazy that they consider Barbie's Dreamhouse DVD media mail (educational with no ads?) but not comics. It's a double standard that doesn't make any sense, and it has nothing to do with the way I want to ship things. I do think buyers should have the option, though, to have them shipped this way as they clearly exceed the Barbie DVD standard. I just think there should be some consistent regulations. Why does USPS hate comics? Anyways, I'm looking forward to some speedy, consistent non-USPS service with a drone delivery in the future.
