FEDEX SURCHARGES AUGUST 2024

[theoriginalbenjammin-7]

Fed Ex surcharges:  Fuel Surcharge? Residential Surcharge? I calculated the dimensional weight using the formula given by eBay, Length x height x width divided by 166 then put tht weight in the weight box, the carrier flagged it as the actual weight was 7.30 pounds. That was the actual weight but the billable weight is charged based on the dimensions, in this case 16x12x11÷166=12.7 (13) pounds. 

The additional surcharges were not listed on eBay's shipping label page. Is this a scam?

Seems that the forum may be  populated with misinformation at times, at least from what I have seen.

Please fact check your posts before you give advice as the newcomers come on here seeking correct information to help them navigate the eBay selling matrix, and it is complicated enough without them getting  disinformation.  Shipping guidelines have changed, and they are about to change even again. It's diffacult to keep up and mistakes can be made that cost the sellers money. So let's try to be as helpful as possible and verify our facts before we make statements that may be incorrect. Thank you! 

 Offer useful, factual, and verified information. 

Just the Facts Ma"am.
