Postal rates up again

[ValKehl]

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?

I just found what I was "missing." It seems the the USPS has changed its "First Class Parcel Service" to "First Class Package Service," and in so doing, has increased its retail rates significantly, while not changing its commercial rates. Here's the link to my source of this info: https://www.neopostusa.com/newsroom/...ptember-3-2017
I guess the USPS will get around to revising its Notice 123 Price List sooner or later. I may still be "missing" something, as I am not aware of anything else that changed, other than the name change from "Parcel" to "Package."
