See ya FedEx -> USPS Ground AAdvantage now. Yeah, now that we have to pay upfront, which is a good thing, not too good when FedEx advertises a $1.00 less than USPS, but zaps me with ~$5.00 after delivery (and we know.....fuel surcharge, residential surcharge, whatever surcharge, oversize surcharge; or better, FedEx pretending the weight and dimensions are different --- but I dunno what the charge actually wuz 'cuz I can't see the updated breakdown since eBay is the customer to FedEx).
Off to a better choice for many packages now, which isUSPS Ground AAdvantage; in fact, USPS refunds me if I calculate the weight too high. Not Fed-Less. LOL
Will see what UPS does when I use that. Bye!

My seller uses FedEx and that's why I buy from him.
Seller mailed package(heavy) on Monday November 20th....I got it Wednesday before noon on November 22th....from New Jersey to San Francisco. That the fastest I ever got an item from him.
I have become a "Repeat Buyer" for this seller. Seller just advertises shipping....but because it's fast shipping I rebuy from him and I know he uses FedEx.
In my opinion...its all about "repeat buyers"...and I love FedEx.
I mail my items USPS and love them also...by the way.
But always expect the unexpected...so my boss always tells me...using eBay shipping labels...and not walking your packages in person to a clerk to mail.

Residential, fuel, etc are all included in the upfront cost. You won't see upcharges for those factors.
Go here:
https://www.ebay.com/ship/labels/seller-hub
Second to last column "Shipment details / Cost" - click on the carrier name hyperlink.
The pop up will show a breakdown of fees. What was the cost adjustment for @shado-x ?
Certain things, like address correction, you can get a credit from eBay. Seller error on size/weight is seller's expense to bear. FedEx error on size/weight can be appealed by contacting eBay CS and asking them to file the appeal with FedEx. Seller not knowing what qualifies as an irregular package can also result in cost adjustments.

I can't recommend USPS Ground Advantage shipping . it has a lot of unexplained delay issues and bouncing around to the wrong USPS hub's .

Exactly why I have never used FedEx. Seems like just phony cash grab billing. And they expect you to believe it's true. And if the fuel cost really spiked that's not my problem. That's your expense as a business. If you can afford to buy into putting your name on a Sports Stadium, you can afford a fuel spike.
