    Why is calculated shipping cost paid by buyer only half of actual cost, and seller pays the excess?
                     

    EBay charged buyer only $6.55 for shipping in “buyer pays shipping costs”

    based on calculated amount.

     

    However when I as the seller create the label via the link in the listing using the

    Buyer-selected shipping method, the actual cost is $11.55

     

    Why do I as the seller have to pay the difference, and why didn’t eBay charge the full amount to the buyer? I did not offer any shipping discounts.

    I see one sold listing with shipping charges.  I doubt you can ship those boots for $6.55 unless it is to someone also residing in Oregon.  Are you sure the buyer didn't pay $11.55 ?  Knowing the weight/dimensions of the package and the TO/FROM zip codes will help in figuring out what might have happened.

    What is the Item Number and the buyer's Zip Code?
