There used to be something years ago called something like ‘bag mail’. If USPS still has it, this was for overseas books and such.
Airmail M-Bags may be the name these days.

I am pretty new to Sixbit but did something similar.
I think you have to go to ‘Sell Items’/Views and click the view named ‘Available to List, Unlisted on eBay’. The cancelled items should show there. Then submit them manually from there. Be careful in case any are missing for inventory reasons or if any are extra that you have been preparing to list.
It may be that Sixbit would do this automatically for you if they were all part of an allocation plan that you had set. My subscription level does not have allocation plans enabled.
I use eBay Shipping Labels for most everything as this is usually my cheapest option.
eBay still wins on many things: like the Padded Flat Rate Envelope at $7.33 with top-rated discount.
But I used PirateShip a few times in the last 2-3 months for items where cubic shipping made sense. Most times it saved me a dollar or less. One time PirateShip saved me almost $4 on a 3-lb item that was going cross-country.

I’ve been test-driving Sixbit for 24 hours or so. Hope you get a clear answer to your question.I found this link for moving items between 2 different seller IDs:

Sounds like you have a good system. What are you using for eCommerce software?Death piles are an issue here!
The Tesla lunch bag may be a knock-off. Does Tesla use the VERO program?
Check out that seller’s feedback and other items listed: 36 feedback score with some neutrals and at least one negative. And seller has over 40,000+ items listed for sale. How does one create that many listings?
I purchase household and drug store type expendables. Examples: eye drops, vitamins, even OTC medications. It can be more convenient than getting out to the store and I still try to make sure that I am saving with the purchase. Sometimes the savings is significant. And, yes, there are a few sellers that I favor for repeat buys.
Shipping and office supplies work too but there are a few sellers that seem to short ship on purpose. For example, rolls of bubble wrap. As a general rule, you must check that you received everything that you paid for when the package arrives.
I avoid buying most batteries. There seem to be too many knock-offs. You cannot tell by looking at them, but they don’t last anywhere near as long as they should. They seem to last just long enough to avoid returns and bad feedback.
1) Your feedback removal case seems reasonably strong. In my experience, the best way to get a negative removed is to call in (or do a call back) and get a sympathetic agent. Often calling more than one time is required. Don’t know how you can do this from the Netherlands since you must call eBay US for your item.
2) You are listing on eBay US. I don’t think that most US buyers have any idea that a ‘type c power cable’ is for EU (Europe), not US. So even though you have this in your item specifics plus in your description, US buyers still don’t comprehend. Seems to me that you may run into this problem again. Perhaps you can improve something in your description to emphasize this.
Temudgin:
Fantastic tip. Thanks. I’ve used this a several times now. Don’t know what we’re gonna do when forced into that new shipping label page.So these charges originate from eBay USPS shipping if the seller makes an error or if USPS has a glitch.
I’m not aware of any yet on my account. How do they inform you about an adjustment, Do you get an email from eBay or Paypal about the new charges?
