FedEx Shipping Rate Difference

[kaltos1]

Thought I would come here before calling eBay tomorrow to see if anyone else has noticed this. A sold an item with buyer paying shipping for FedEx. eBay shipping page says I got our discounted price for that label but the buyer is paying almost $3 less than what the label is going to cost me. First time to see this and I'm confused to how this would happen.

You can edit all the options when printing a label.  Change them to whatever combination of USPS or FedEx and size and weight gets the rate the buyer paid.

yeah but all that information was correct before listing the item

I've had the same exact issue more than once & replies I received here, had nothing to do with the question.

Shipping charges are often "calculated" in buyer's favor/they are less than what I have to pay, especially in the $10-$15 range.

And on top of that, the actual charges you end up paying, may be even higher, than what the system showed initially, because of "weight & size discrepancy", "rural area" surcharges, etc.

So, I started adding handling charges to FedEx & UPS.
