Are you allowed to reconfigure (fold it taller but thinner) a USPS Priority Flat Rate Box?
Don't know the answer to your question,  but in case you don't know,  the flat rate boxes also come in a tall narrow version .

Just sold some items on ebay. Buyers seem happy, as i have not gotten any messages of complaints (bh) but no ones leaving me feedback! It's annoying because i'm trying t build up a good reputation as a seller. Should I try messaging them? what would I say?

You can message them, but they should get one automatically from eBay after about 3 weeks or so.

With eBay it's usually easy to get feedback by leaving the customer feedback (after item is delivered) and requesting nicely.
I get feedback maybe 75% of the time so I don't sweat it.
Amazon on the other hand...

How do you request nicely? Thru the Message center?

On Amazon I get only about 0.5% feedback

Ebay is partially down, especially signing in.

It was working for me, and got a message from a buyer that he couldn't pay, and was getting a message that I couldn't accept funds at the moment. Should I be worried, or is it probably related to the outage?

It works good, although many international buyers don't use it...

Because it doesn't work (it's targeted).
