Is my USPS chart wrong??

[pvcliff]

I'd made notes when the prices changed earlier this year. My item weighs 13.1 oz and I expected the price to range from $3.82-$4.33 (12oz-15.8 oz). My chart says FC 15.999 oz rate is $4.94-$5.53.  I'm being charged $5.53 on eBay labels as if I'm in the highest weight allowed for FC from west coast to east. Is my chart wrong, or is there a glitch?

What are the 2 zips
I am NJ your CA so 13 to 15.99 would be  $5.53 zone 8

Do you use this chart ?
$3.82 to $4.33 is 9 to 12oz not 13.1

Thanks for that. How did I manage to get to the end of May without realizing my notes were wrong, of course on an item I'd just lowered the price by $2!

and I am sure that there will be another price increase next January. The days of selling inexpensive items here is coming to an end. High postal rates, taxes, paypal fees , etc. etc.

Yep, most likely so.  It is what they usually do.  

It doesn't just affect Ebay when USPS raises rates.  It affects everyone everywhere that sell on the internet using USPS to ship.

In my opinion, it is a waste of time to sell most any One-of-a-kind item on eBay if it will sell for less than $20-30 ... you will probably be making less than minimum wage.

In quantity, the lower limit is $10 (if the item ships at the 4 ounce rate).

At this point, I'd be happy to make minimum wage.

And of course someone else in a far state bought before I fixed the 8 or so listings that needed it. That lit a fire to get it done! Haven't had a sale since I think May 4, now two back to back that fell into the error segment of my chart.

You have to round up. Cheapest rate for 14 oz I see is $4.94
