Ebay automatically changed my shipping price when I bought the label - TWICE! What is going on?

I haven't sold (or bought on Ebay, for that matter) for about 10 yrs so I thought I'd give it a try again. I have 25 items up for sale right now and the other day, I sold 2 items. I went to print out a label on the 1st one this past Sat and punched in $5.85 for the shipping cost and at the end, Ebay AUTOMATICALLY changed it to $10.09 (the 1.0 lb rate)! I never changed it! For a super light item. I'm charging a flat rate for light, med, heavier items. Ok, I'm thining that I did something wrong and invited my husband the next time to double check when I bought the postage.

Yesterday I went to print out a label for $8.85 and was super careful, read every word of what I was doing. At the very end, when it instructed me to "buy postage" Ebay changed it AGAIN to $10.09 . And hubs was double checking every step! I thought it was supposed to be cheaper to buy postage from Ebay? It would have been cheaper for me to take it to the PO! What is going on? I thought we could charge our own amt?How do

You are using a flat shipping rate that is why.

 

It costs less to send to me in Missouri than it would to someone in New York or California.

 

You would be better off to use calculated shipping so it will charge the buyers based on their location
