Recently, while scrolling through ebay listings I've noticed an increase in shipping rates. Nothing alarming.
However, it's nothing compared to the increases that are shown to me personally once I click on an item and the system has time to calculate a quoted rate just for me.

Let me note that scrolling listings is often in Google where one rate is listed on Google Shopping and another shown on the site. Or, if for some reason I've been logged out of ebay and not realized it. The rates change as soon as I log in. Sometimes that login is at checkout after clicking Buy Now thinking I'm paying one rate, only for it to change when I'm about to pay.

USPS shipping rates increased on 1/9/22. They always increase in January.
The highest rate increase is for first class package, which I believe is the shipping method the majority of sellers use.
The listings that are displayed on Google Shopping are cached, I believe, so they are showing the old shipping rates. Once you get to the actual site, the shipping rates should then be accurate.
