Now that it's a new day and I've had some sleep, I've been messing around with this @jltrainman. I sold something to Canada yesterday so I pulled that order into the label purchase page, entered a 4 oz weight and an assortment of dimensions. I can verify that dimensional weight is being factored in on all package sizes which is exactly what the new rate page says should be happening.
In figuring out whether this is actually a problem, we would need to know what eBay's calculator charged your buyers. Are buyers being charged based on dimensional rates?
We need info for sales made Jan 9 or later. Anything sold on Fri/Sat (as was the case for @maxvr6 based on the $11 old rate they noted) would not matter since that's before the rate change.
As others said: pirateship offers better international rates. They are uninsured, however even when you purchase additional insurance on their site the rates are still lower than eBay's ISD rates. I believe that will still be true when the pirateship rates go up next month, but I haven't combed through them yet to say definitively.
