Free Shipping Showing on Random Listings Nov 2022

I thought I was just being careless as in the last two weeks, a couple of my listings when sold showed up as free shipping. In order to avoid this for further listings I went to my overview and selected the "shipping markdown" box in the search function so I could see if I had made the same mistake in other listings. When I did the search, it kept telling me I had no listings with free shipping so I did not worry until again, yesterday something sold and it sold with free shipping. I had checked just 2 days previous to this sale and my listings said zero found with free shipping. Contacted Ebay customer service and was told that I had changed my shipping policies (which I had not). The listings with free shipping are so random and are not only newly listed items but items that have renewed automatically. I explained that also, when trying to do a new listing today, shipping options were not coming up (I could not put in First Class or Priority Mail etc.) They then walked me through changing my shipping policies. I asked if now, I would have to do this with every listing as I had never had to do anything like this before while listing. Long story short CS rep told me that no, it was just a couple of days this happened and now I would be able to list as I had always done. Regarding the free shipping issue, I was told that I have 25 listings offering free shipping (I don't offer free shipping) and again I explained that I could not see anything, it was telling me zero free shipping offered. They have escalated this ticket due to potential sales with the free shipping option that I am unable to see. Just wanted to put it out there as it seems to have started happening in the first week of November 2022. I am probably not the only one...At least I know I am not losing my mind just yet.

Free Shipping Showing on Random Listings Nov 2022

Thanks, Happy Thanksgiving to you to.

So weird, last night, Ebay customer service said they are seeing 25 free shipping listings and I have not listed anything in the last couple of days so even what they are looking at is incorrect! I am really confused regarding this shipping policy. Up until 2 days ago I went on my happy way listing and in the shipping section I put the weight in pounds and ounces (the 2 boxes available) then checked off which services I wanted. Now I am getting the three dots and some sort of form asking me to create a policy name...This is new to me I have never had to do this. I tried it however most of my listings are pretty much the same as in shipping options and each time it asks me for a new policy. I don't know what has changed, why I can't just enter weight/ dimensions and priority/ first class or ground. I think I am just going to end all of the listings with the free shipping as trying to edit the shipping is becoming a nightmare.
