I sell magazines. I use the eBay shipping calculator to figure out what shipping would be for a FIRST CLASS LARGE ENVELOPE. eBay figures this amount out and inserts this amount in my listing. My customers then pay this amount. After the magazine sells, eBay doesn't give you the option to pay for a FIRST CLASS LARGE ENVELOPE. They ONLY give you the option to purchase a FIRST CLASS PACKAGE LABEL which is several dollars higher than a FIRST CLASS LARGE ENVELOPE. I have called eBay 4 times in the last year to complain about this and have been told, except the last time, that this 'is a technical issue that they're working on". Which isn't true. Why won't eBay allow you to purchase a FIRST CLASS LARGE ENVELOPE LABEL?
And, I just sold a lot of 3 Wreath Making Books. BOOKS, with instructions and NO ADVERTISING. eBay decided for themselves that these BOOKS, with no advertising, did not qualify for a Media Mail label and tried to have me purchase either a First Class Package or a Flat Rate Envelope Label. They WOULD NOT allow me to purchase a Media Mail label. Does eBay need the money so badly? - remember a percentage of shipping is also charged to the seller.
