Shipping

Why am I being charged for shipping that I've already paid for

[lamber9347]

Are you the seller here? Are you the buyer? How are you being charged a second time for shipping? If you come back and write some details, you will receive some very good advice....

Most likly it was checked down the line and found wanting so you got charged for the change in cost.

Most of us aren't good at guessing games.  Can't even tell from your message whether you're the seller or the buyer.  If you'll return and give us all the details of your issue, we'd be glad to help.

Was it for one of the comics you shipped Media Mail?

You aren't. Come back if you need clarification.

Well, pretty much everything in your store is being listed as shipping via Media Mail.  Including comics, Garbage Pail Kids cards, even toy cars.  None of which qualify for MM.  I'm going to take a wild guess here,  that's probably the reason.

🤷 We can't guess with zero info. There are so many possible scenarios..

• For the body of the post, in order to get the solution that you are looking for in a timely manner, make sure to add as much detail as possible. Similar to the who, what, when, where, why model, make sure that the post includes enough information that when someone comes in to respond they know exactly what you are asking so they can best assist. An example of this that we often see is someone not including anything in the body of the post at all, or it’s very vague. Community members are then prompted to ask probing questions, and that can cause a lot of unnecessary back and forth. If the question had been posted with enough information for a quick and accurate response, future Community members, who need the same answer, could be better helped.

Are you getting charged for a different class of shipping since comic books do not qualify for media mail (USPS source)?

I don't know how they can even choose Media Mail under toys?

...By listing in a category that isn't appropriate, to get cheaper rates.

Not much sympathy here, this drives up all rates for the rest of us.

Most likely, they are setting up the listings as "Economy Shipping, flat rate to all buyers" kinda deal.  That's the only way they would be able to choose MM in a category that doesn't qualify.

Now, I don't know about when the shipping label is actually generated.  I do know that eBay has been cracking down on MM abuse, by not allowing the label to be printed via eBay labels in categories that don't qualify.  But I think that is only for calculated shipping.
