New friendly reminder on the shipping label page.

I'm not sure how long it's been there.  I only noticed it now. 

That's a really bad example because the rate for 13 oz., 13.2 oz. or 14 oz. is the same isn't it?

It's easier to just make a general statement then parse out the entire first class pricing scheme. They could have picked a better example, but the message still stands.

The shipping calculator in eBay listings defaults to show retail pricing, unless the seller changes that in their site preferences.  So this example might have been chosen to ensure that First Class packages that were going via retail don't show retail pricing for a 13-ounce package when it's a 13.2-ounce package that is going to be bumped up to Priority.  

So this weight example is a good choice for advising those few sellers who ship retail, and a terrible choice for sellers who purchase their postage online, because the price shown for a 14-ounce package will be the retail price for 1 pound via Priority Mail. IMHO sellers who intend to purchase postage online should enter 13 ounces for any weight up to 15.99 ounces!

Thanks for this information. I've had several listings that weigh under 15 oz being shipped in a bubble mailer getting the  priority rate quote. Couldn't figure it out.
