Hi Samstripes -
We feel your pain, same predicament for our store (over 90% of our items shipped trigger the new fee structure). Our immediate response is to send as many of our orders as possible via UPS since they have actually kept their rates reasonable despite the changes implemented by the post office (doubt it will still be that way in another year, but for now they're going to get ALL of our volume besides packages that have to go to P.O. Boxes, US Territories, and APO addresses). So, the USPS is going to lose six figures in shipping revenue from our store alone this year as a direct consequence of their poorly devised "solutions" (slowing down the mail while charging double for it - REALLY?)....tough to see how a pricing strategy like this is going to do anything to make the postal service "profitable" in any capacity. They've officially lost as much of our business as we can afford to take away - eBay should be paying rapt attention because customers aren't going to want to eat the expense either. Hopefully they can negotiate something a little less drastic ASAP if they have long-term seller sustainability anywhere on the roadmap.
