Fedex rates have become hugely uncompetitive now that ups lowered there rates to mate usps advantage..... i suspect that the recent uptick in overcharges and back charges is to compensate for the drop-off in people using fedex. It is not morally or ethically right and should be illegal- probably is but who is going to stop them?- best thing is to vote with your dollars- stop using fedex until they get the picture- like with bud-light lol!
A large part of the problem is the contractual deals that ebay makes with theses companies- they are set up to protect ebay and the shippers while making provisions to **bleep** the sellers of their hard earned money- no other business can randomly and without cause or proof just charge you more for a product 2 weeks after the fact!
