Version 4.00.536 is released today to show the Ground Advantage service. The current version does support Ground Advantage by selecting the Parcel Select service. eBay changed the Display name from Parcel Select to Ground Advantage, but the service ID we send is the same. So if you list with that, it should be showing on-site as Ground Advantage.

06/28/2023

SixBit Software is currently working towards integrating the new USPS Ground Advantage Shipping Option for USPS. We should have a version out in the near future that will support this automatically when it's introduced on July 9th.
