Ebay shipping table rates not accurate 03/19 OVERCHARGING

BUYERS & SELLERS BE AWARE - PAYING LOT MORE USING EBAY SHIPPING LABELS

Been selling on ebay for 3+ years and had good idea to figure out shipping costs.

March 16/2019 was buying a shipping label for a package from PA (15210) to NJ (08857)

Package weight 3.5lbs  dimension 13x11x2.5" (box A)

Ebay shipping cost was 17.61 (priority)  11.20 (Box A)

Using paypal shipping label * usps.com Click-N-Ship was 8.81 (priority) - No box A rates

The new table rates ebay are using are wrong overcharging everybody

Will cost me more send the same package from PA to VI, OH, NJ, NY than to IL (7.48 priority -7.41 box A)

There is no link or way to report this anomalie to ebay if somebody knows how please do it.

Is not fair for buyers or sellers pay for this mistakes (from 8.81 to 17.20) wow

@milrel5   Do you have Calculated shipping set up on your listings?  I have not seen what you are describing and I never us USPS Flat Rate boxes.

It is always better to buy a shipping scale and weight the item so you can be sure you are offering the buyer the correct priced based off weight, dimensions, and distance. Harbor freight has a good scale from Centex that usually rinds $40.00. Plus if you sign up for their news letters you will get a  25 percent off coupon. If you buy locally it will save you around 10 dollars or if bought online it will pay for the shipping.

There is nothing wrong with the calculator - you have the wrong "shipping from" zipcode in your eBay settings, and rates were calculated using an incorrect zip code pair.

$17.61 is the PM 4lb rate to zone 8 and $11.20 is the Reg A rate to zone 8
$8.81 is the 4lb rate to zone 4 (PA to NJ)

You used your proper zipcode at PayPal, but the wrong zipcode (like a California zip 95825) in the eBay label flow. (or less likely the wrong buyer address/zip code populated the eBay label)

Whether you changed the shipping from zipcode or address in the label flow (it is a sticky setting that stays at the last setting) or eBay gremlins did is unknown.

Go look at it again ("print another label" option) - check the "shipping from" zipcode (classic label flow) or the zipcode in the ship from/return to address if using the new label flow.

Sorry but I know what you are talking and sometimes in the past had happened to me and corrected right away.

This is not the case. I dont do calculate shipping, is a normal label you buy after you got an order.

Ebay apparently updated it, a couple of days later is was showing the right rate.
