Combined Shipping Only Works Sometimes?

I have the same combined shipping rule set on all my items, and it works some of the time. But time and again I'll have to refund shipping to a customer for being overcharged. What's strange is, let's say a customer places an order consisting of 10 i...

I make a lot of custom size boxes from large flat pieces of cardboard. Attached is a pic of the cardboard perforators I have been using for the past 7 years. Still work great. I am looking for something that might have a larger handle that would requ...

I offer UPS to Canada, Ebay charges the buyer for it, but makes me use a more expensive service!

Resolved! My listing ONLY offers USPS GA but label page only shows UPS & Fedex options!!

I know this happened once before and it was an ebay 'glitch' that was fixed, but this time I haven't seen any posts about it so maybe I just got lucky and am the only one hit with it? I've sold several of this item from this listing over the past wee...
