Hi! I always receive a shipping discount when I make a sale and purchase the shipping label through Ebay but noticed today that I wasn't receiving one. Has something changed?
Thanks!

Only sellers who are TRS+ receive shipping discounts.

Nothing has changed.
As noted above, there is no online discount for Media Mail.
You will also not see an "eBay discount" if you are shipping via Parcel Select, because that IS the online discounted rate. The retail equivalent is called Retail Ground. Both services used to be known as Parcel Post.

Wrong because:
TR-Plus is a listing status, not a seller status.
All eBay sellers pay a postage rate that is discounted, when compared to the retail, over-the-counter rate. eBay calls this the "eBay discount" even though it's actually just the difference between the regular retail price vs the online discounted price.
Top Rated Sellers are charged the Commercial Plus rate for all of their Priority Mail package labels, even those listings that don't qualify for TR-Plus status. The Commercial Plus rate is about 3% less than the regular online rate (Commercial Base).
