I keep getting these $20 "additional handling" charges and they are always on what amounts to a piece of flat sheet metal of various sizes, I always just sandwich it between two pieces of cardboard and then just tape it solid with shipping tape in 2 different directions, on ebay I would get the message that there was a adjustment but it would never tell me what was wrong, just additional handling I owed another $20 or so which was more than the original shipping. Then I started shipping my UPS on pirate ship and sure enough I got a additional handling charge, same deal except this time the message said "Addl Handling-Non-corrugated" I have been taping packages like this for years with no problem, I think what has happened is that there is some new automation that thinks it is not cardboard because it is taped solid. I sent in a appeal which you can do on pirate ship and it was approved like 2 days later, I will probably never ship UPS through ebay again, I think I might just ship everything pirateship.
