Shipping Charges

[yours_and_mine]

When I listed my item a week ago I did not choose Priority Mail as an option, now when I go to ship it only gives me Priority Mail in USPS.

My buyer paid several dollars less than actual shipping cost.

Help me please

Is the address a PO Box? I have had a similar situation where I had to use USPS because it was being delivered to a PO Box and it can only be shipped via USPS

The Brio set was listed with USPS Parcel Select Ground shipping.

eBay has decided to phase out access to Parcel Select Ground labels, even though USPS has made no changes in their services or policies, and it's offered by all other online postage sellers including PayPal, endicia, stamps.com, etc. When it's not offered, the shipping label page usually defaults to Priority Mail. You can purchase Parcel Select Ground postage through PayPal at

www.PayPal.com/shipnow

But do compare prices before you do that. For Zones 1 - 4, the USPS online price for Priority Mail is  less than a dollar more than Parcel Select Ground. If you're a TRS you get a 3% discount when purchasing Priority labels through eBay, which often makes it cheaper than Parcel Select.  For instance, the Brio set is showing a shipping cost to me of $49.75; shipping that same package via Priority Mail would cost $52.53 online, which is just $2.78 more (and includes insurance).

IMHO Parcel Select ground should only be offered when necessary such as for hazmat or Oversize packages (i.e., length-plus-girth above the Priority limit of 108 inches).
