[Notice from International Mail My Page Service] Notice regarding "To the United States" and "Expansion of Countries and Regions where International ePacket Light is Available"

I frequently use the Japan Post International Mail My Page Service to mail small packages to the U.S

I received this message in my email. I'm having trouble understanding. Does anyone send small packages to the U.S (eBay sales for examples)? I sell through eBay and my main sales are to the U.S. What are alternatives?
