You are not allowed to charge the buyer more for shipping than what is shown on the listing. The buyer purchased the item based on the information you listed. When you make a mistake, you absorb the cost.
It's best not to even mention to the buyer that you accidentally undercharged for shipping as it only puts him in an uncomfortable position and you don't want that when it's time for him to leave feedback...

Mentor5 months agoAs an eBay seller, you are not supposed to ask your buyer to pay any additional charges, after they've paid for their purchase through eBay.
Not for shipping, not due to weather, not due to "force majeure", not for anything.
YOU have to absorb any additional shipping charges.
The one silver lining to this situation is that you will (possibly) be able to deduct those extra shipping charges (that you had to pay) on your USA (presumably) income tax return next year.
USPS postage, FedEx charges, UPS charges -- all are (generally) deductible business expenses.
