Starting April 26, 2026 through January 17, 2027, the United States Postal Service (USPS) will implement a 8% fuel surcharge on select shipping services due to rising transportation and fuel costs.
For more information, please read the full USPS announcement.
What this means for you:
- The price increase will apply to:
- Priority Mail
- Priority Mail Express
- Ground Advantage
- Parcel Select
- All weights and zones
- First-Class letters and mail are not affected and will remain unchanged.
- The surcharge will be automatically reflected in label pricing—no action required.
We recommend reviewing your shipping strategies and pricing to account for this adjustment. We’ll continue to keep our community informed of any updates.
Smart Ship Tip: Even with this increase, you’ll still see significant savings purchasing your labels on eBay. The eBay shipping calculator will automatically include the surcharge on April 26, so you can compare carriers and services pricing.
As always, thank you for selling on eBay.
