Is the new shipping changes going to cost the sellers more to ship the items listed? I am not really sure I understand the new changes and would like to understand before agreeing to the changes.

There is a setting in shipping preferences where a seller can pass on eBay label shipping discounts to buyers. The current default is set to not have it set to the discount cost but retail cost. In may the default goes to pass the discount to buyers. You would still be able to go in and turn the setting off to not pass the discount to the buyer.

Hi @cinephile09 No, it will not cost you more. EBay gives sellers a discount on shipping (except not on USPS Media Mail). If you use calculated shipping, you can choose to either:
The default setting was to charge buyers the full amount, and we had to change the setting to pass the discount on to buyers.
This change just reverses the previous default setting: Now the default setting passes the discount on to buyers, and we will have to opt out to change the setting to charge buyers the full amount.
