USPS cost increase
USPS recently increased shipping rates. An item we just sold cost more to ship, with no changes to weight or dimensions. How can we easily update estimated shipping costs for 100+ active items? Thanks!

If you use the Calculated setting on your listings and accurate weight and dimensions there is nothing to update. eBay will display the current postage cost based on that information you provide on the listing.

OP1 week agoThanks Mr. Lincoln, that's what we use. So why did we end up paying more, when weight and dimensions did not change?

Which item? You sold one on the 25th, 27th and 28th. I am in zip code 17579 and the one on the 28th shows $ 6.33 to ship from your city to me. To me that is more like a Commercial rate opposed to Retail rate. How big was that box and how much did it weight.
Here is a link to the USPS Postage calculator. Use your weight and dimensions and my zip code and see what the Retail rate is for that item shipped to me: Retail Postage Price Calculator
I also looked at a number of your other Sold items and to be honest they all look like they are using Commercial rates or something is wrong on your listings. They are all showing between $ 5.00 & $ 6.50 to ship to me and I know that is not right.

OP1 week agoThe item sold on the 27th. Original listed shipping was $5.68, and that's what buyer paid. Cost today with no change in weight or dimensions was $6.33.

Uh-Oh ... that one is even worse, it shows $ 5.68 to ship from your location to mine and for three 16 OZ glass tumblers I am guessing the they will weigh at least 2 - 3 lbs.
What are was the weight and dimensions of the box those shipped in?
