FEDEX OVERCHARGING FOR SHIPPING, DOUBLE THE PRICE OF WHAT WAS QUOTED

This just happened today: 3/21/2023. I've been an Ebay seller since 2016, I've sold close to 9000 items on Ebay. Fedex did it again, I sold 4 large duffel bags with rolling wheels and handles, which weighed 8 lbs each. All 4 shipping labels were purchased and printed from the Ebay Shipping Page. Fedex more than doubled the quoted price on all 4 shipments. Fedex stated that all 4 weighed 17 lbs each.  All 4 of these shipments were sold over a period of a month and went to 4 different locations in the USA. All 4 of these were shipped using Fedex Home Delivery. Here is an example of one of my shipments.  Quoted price $17.57 after I entered the actual weight and dimensions. Here is the breakdown of the back charges: Residential Surcharge= $4.18, Fuel Surcharge= $4.96, Carrier Rate= $23.82, Additional handling= $20.00,  Misc1 Amount= $3.45, Total charges $44.00. And they said it weighed 17 lbs. Now how can they add a residential surcharge when the shipping is named "Fedex HOME Delivery"!!!!!  And they were given the shipping address at the time of the quote. I called Ebay and they are filing a dispute with Fedex for all 4 of the overcharged shipments. I talked to a customer service agent, as well as a team leader on duty, and they all agreed that all 4 of these shipment charges were all very suspicious. I explained to the team leader that if you look on the Ebay Community Forum under "Fedex Overcharging " its been happening and complained about since 2020, Yet the management at Ebay has still not fixed the problem. So here I am voicing my concern over an ongoing problem hoping and praying it gets fixed. I will let this forum  know how my problem was resolved and if I get a REFUND!!!!

FEDEX OVERCHARGING FOR SHIPPING, DOUBLE THE PRICE OF WHAT WAS QUOTED

Today is 4/11/23. After 4 phone calls to Ebay customer service, I finally got all my overcharged money back. The total I got refunded was $104.58. Everyone at Ebay customer service Admitted to me that they know about the ongoing Overcharging problem with Fedex.  But yet Ebay upper management has yet to do anything about the problem BECAUSE it doesn't effect their bottom line. So I advise any seller with this FEDEX overcharging problem, be persistent and keep calling Customer service, talk with a lead manager until they issue you a refund. IT WORKED FOR ME!!!
