Gotta use eBay shipping labels when selling stuff through eBay - so much easier and cheaper.

No doubt, Frank. eBay excels at fee extraction from its members, so we are sure to see that cost go up too.
On an unrelated eBay note, gotta love this eBay math from my store: Late shipment rate 0.55% Tracking uploaded on time and validated 98.65% MIA: 0.90%

I'm sure ebay gets a chunk of each and every package processed through their site.....just like Stamps.com. When/If they need to extract a little more to prop up Wall Street expectations, it'll be passed along even further. Dropped about 60 packages at Post Office today for scanning and my window person said she just saw it this morning. Said they normally get much advanced notice about it but there wasn't anything that she'd seen. And she's really good too. SO......I agree with the sentiment that they're driving people to more electronic means for posting. Which I'm fine with because I use ebay's shipping API all the time anyway. I'll take any/every discount I can get. The discount is pretty strong on 13-14-15 ounce packages that are close to/over the Priority mandate. Couple bucks in some instances for low weight Priority packages depending on the destination distance. Time to go to $3.50 minimum shipping from $3.00.

I think it was the last USPS fee increase when Ebay started pocketing a larger portion of their commercial discount and passing less of it on to it's sellers.
They even started inflating dimensional weight costs to certain regions that had been adjusted downward by the USPS. I used to use Ebay shipping for all Priority Mail packages and International and Stamps.com for all 1st Class shipping. Now I only use it for International (discounts are still better on Ebay) and non-dimensional Priority packages valued between $51-$100 (free insurance through Ebay).

I noticed this increase also. I usually package my sales and go to the Post Office and use the self serve machine to get the cost to ship and bring it home to put on old postage stamps. My bubble mailers were always $2.67 but today were $3.00. I always charged $3.00 but when you take into account the cost of the bubble mailer, ebay fees, and paypal fees, it is more that that. I may think about raising my buy it now prices an additional $4.00 to cover postage and fees and then offer free shipping. Not sure what I will do yet. Any suggestions?
thanks, Robert

I must be missing something. I shipped two First Class packages (one 7 oz. and one 8 oz.) today, and I did the shipping labels via eBay/PayPal. I was charged the same USPS Commercial First Class rates for these packages that have been in effect since January 22, 2017; these rates are shown in the USPS' published Price List, which is also known as USPS Notice 123 - here's the link to it: https://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals.../Notice123.pdf
The Retail First Class rates are on Page 5 and the Commercial First Class rates are on Page 15. My wife and I ship several packages, both First Class and Priority Mail, resulting from eBay sales (mostly non-sports stuff) each week. For Priority Mail shipments, we are charged the USPS' Commercial Plus rates - these rates appear on Page 12 of Notice 123. I have not seen anything to suggest that the USPS's rates have changed, and when the do, I assume the USPS' online Price List will immediately reflect the rate changes, as it has in the past. What am I missing? Val
