First Class Postage Wrong?

[labbypaws]

i had a buyer buy something.  weight 6 ounces.  Calculated shipping.  eBay charged my buyer 21 cents less than I had to pay.  

[unknown]

What did you pay and what was the buyer charged?

[labbypaws]

Buyer paid $3.14 and I paid $3.35.

[unknown]

The retail price for first class mail parcel is $3.14. I just checked stamps.com and I'd be paying $2.60 which is the commercial base price and what you should be paying through ebay.

I might call them later tonight. It is an item I am already losing money on so a few cents matters, lol. Plus I have a ton of Hallmarks listed and I don't want to lose money on postage for each one of them.

[unknown]

And you're using ebay's labels? That makes NO sense at all.

[labbypaws]

Yes. eBay labels.

[labbypaws]

She says it is a known bulk shipping issue and not to use bulk shipping.

just another way for them to make more money.

First and last time I ever will use it.

WTF?

[unknown]

And I just keep saying, thank gawd for stamps.com

[labbypaws]

I only used bulk because I had more than one item. Every time I use eBay shipping I seem to have some dumb issue or another. The part that messed things up was I added insurance to the Disney character so it messed up the shipping for the charm. It converted ounces to pounds and tenth of pounds. I was beat tired and wasn't thinking clearly but it was not supposed to convert to tenths of pounds.

I saw that 1/10 of pounds thing on 1st class weights and thought WTH? Did eBay really not get their shipping platform fixed in time for the changes on the 17th? They deserve 1 star on shipping.
