The weight of my item is being changed when I go to list my auction.

Has anyone been having issues with Ebay listings where the weight value is not what you entered? I have been bitten repeatedly by wrong weight values on my items. I do not offer free shipping as a rule of thumb.  Sending an item to Florida, California, Alaska or Hawaii and I would be ruined.  I have pretty much eaten every mistake so far.  It is starting to really upset me though that my weight and shipping offers are not correct.  I sold an item today that wieghed 11 ounces. The buyer paid according to a 2 ounce item.  I did not enter this weight.  I know for a fact another item I entered today had a totally different value when I punched the list button.  It was 2 pounds off because it chose to use its idea of what the item should weigh.  I have sat here studying the screen to verify my values are right and yet again today a wrong value was saved when the listing went alive.  There is no way to prove this to Ebay that their programs are changing my values. I was just wondering if anyone else is getting hit with this and if enough of us speak up maybe we can get Ebay to look into the problem.

Do a "Sell Similar" on that sold item and look at the weight there. That will be the weight that was in the sold listing. Is it 2oz or is it 11oz?

How are you listing? The app? Desktop/laptop with Advanced listing form or quick listing form? What browser?
