Shipping Label Costs WRONG (High) Today (October 8, 2025)
I went to ship an order, and found ALL shipping labels cost were displaying much higher than usual. I know from experience that my 8# small package going from FL to GA should be about $8-9 for USPS Ground, and about $15 for UPS or FedEx, but today USPS Ground Advantage showed-up around $20. UPS was $29 and FedEx Home was $57!
I refreshed the page and the USPS cost was down to $8.50, but UPS and FedEx will still the higher amounts. Anyone else notice anything strange lately?

·10 months agothere is something weird going on because I have had some items get check marked as irregular when I have never EVER check marked anything as irregular. These problems have cropped up since Monday

OP10 months agoYES! BINGO! It said Irregular Package. Don't have any idea how that got there. Never had that happen before. Still, when I first tried, it showed a much higher rate for USPS than it did after I refreshed page.
-OR So I THOUGHT! LOL! Actually, when I refreshed page, the weight and dimensions reset to default 1-ounce, and 1"x1"x1". So, I paid $8.50, but it should have been $15. Still crazy that FedEX 1-ounce 1x1x1 irregular package is $57!!!!!
Thank You!

·10 months agoAh, if still possible (if you didn't ship yet) I'd cancel that label and purchase a new one.
Chances are you had 'irregular' selected on the listing form and that translated to the label page.

OP10 months agoYes, I got new label. Maybe it carried-over when I used "Sell One Like This".

·10 months agoeBay shipping calc is showing me these rates. If you're seeing something different, check to make sure there is no typo on the label page with your weight, dimensions, and that you don't have irregular packaging selected.
USPS Ground Advantage $7.81
USPS Priority $9.88
UPS Ground $13.65
FedEx Ground / FedEx Home Delivery $20.00
