two similar listings with the exact same dimensions on package but shipping rates are different

Good afternoon,

I have spent hours trying to figure out what is happening. I have a bunch of listing that need fixed but for the better sake of the argument I will just use 2 listing, 333869066384  and  272665671574.  These two items are very similar in size and weight so the shipping dimensions are the same.  I have double checked and triple checked the dimensions and the weight and all are the same on both listings.  I have checked in shipping preferences to use UPS discounted rates.  All extra handling is left empty.  Anybody know what else I can check to help fix this issue.

Greg

The 6 things that can think of that impact on eBay calculated shipping:

1.  Item location

2. Package type  (letter, lg envelope, package, lg package)

3. Package dimensions

4. Package weight

5. Shipping provider/service

6. Buyer's zip

Probably not the issue, but your ship to locations are NOT exactly the same.  Are you using business policies?  I would check the USPS site and see what the retail price is to see which one is closer to what is being shown.  I don't think there is a discount on ground... at least we don't see it or much pay attention to it.  I always use a zip code the furthest away.  Also, remove the MPN and see if that changes.  It may be pulling weight info from eBay's catalog... which would be a bad thing.  Strange nonetheless.

thanks for all that replied.  Checked all suggestions and still have issues.  Another ebay problem.
