Heads up. Ebay's USPS shipping prices are going up. This was kind of buried on the ebay seller newsletter.

Parcel Select – +8.0%
Media Mail – +2.3%
First Class Package International – +7.2%
Priority Mail International – +6.8%

What the ... My insurance rates went crazy. Right now!!! $3.63 to mail a 3oz package is now $5.34! How can I charge that much for first class? People get mad when you use priority, but I may have to switch them all to priority.

People get mad at Priority Shipping? I use it on 90% of my auctions because I want the stuff delivered quick, free tracking, and the $100 in free insurance! That makes it worth it for me. I usually charge $5-$6.00. I'm glad THOSE prices are not going up...yet.

I don't understand how parcel can go up anymore because everytime I check prices on ebay 90% of the time priority is cheaper unless the package is huge. I think they are trying to get ride of it all together. Raise the prices so high on first class and some others. Then say nobody uses them so they can stop offering them.

It would be a very poor choice to cut first class. It would change my selling a lot.

I think it already went into effect because I sent a package media mail a few days ago and it included tracking at no additional charge.
