USPS shipping rates have increased more than ever before, has ebay lost it's contract with USPS?
Average rate increases(from ebay news) Ground Advantage: 7.7%Ground Advantage 7.7 % Priority Mail: 4.1%Priority Mail Express: 4.9% I have been selling along time and the Shipping increases are killing sales and profits. Am I the only one experiencing this? I use ebay labels and I am not even breaking even. When you have items that are low cost items that don't weigh but 3-15 oz, I ship for as low as possible but lately I am losing money because of the large increases in shipping rates. I have tried to adjust my prices to cover shipping but I have lost money on sales and made hardly any sales, even during the holidays.

Am I the only one experiencing this?
No, every seller who ships an item to a buyer is experiencing this whether they sell on eBay or anywhere else. The cost of shipping keeps going up because the cost to transport the packages keeps going up. On eBay, the shipping cost is still discounted.
