I am confused about Machinable Parcel Post and Non-Machinable Parcel Post. What's the difference?

I believe it has to do with size but I'm sure someone else will know better than I do.
I do know one thing for sure - ebay doesn't require the measurements on parcel post but if you don't add them then it can end up costing you on the quoted shipping. I learned that the hard way.

"Machinable Parcels
A machinable parcel is any piece that is:
a.Not less than 6 inches long, 3 inches high, 1/4 inch thick, and 6 ounces in weight. (A mailpiece exactly 1/4 inch thick is subject to the 3 1/2-inch height minimum under 601.1.2.)
b. Not more than 34 inches long, or 17 inches high, or 17 inches thick, or 35 pounds in weight. For books, or other printed matter, the maximum weight is 25 pounds."
