Shipping perk tier drop...

[Deleted]

just a minor rant here. Last week I was still getting $100 Priority Commercial Plus coverage & discount. Monday I shipped a pkg and it was only $50. I rarely sell anything over $50, but it was just the latest USPS rub when I least expected it. Didn't think the PCP phase out would be so quick!

Oh well...

Shipping perk tier drop tear drop.

Just another sucky update that benefits someone other than the seller.

I lost TRS due to lack of volume a couple of months ago. I had no idea they were phasing Commercial Plus out for any of the shipping classes - is it just Priority?

I hadn't been keeping up on shipping changes and was shocked when I had to print a label for a personal package on usps dot com the day after price increases. No online discount? That's crazy. I don't think a small incentive like a minimal discount is too much to ask for doing the work the postal clerk would have to do if I took my package to the counter.

Ouch, Elly...sorry to hear you lost TRS! I think USPS officials stated that CP would be totally phased out by 2017. Now apparently it's just CB for us lowly eBay sellers. CP covered my material$, with a little change left over. But me thinks maybe, just maybe, eBay is now pocketing the extra discount I was getting.

Oh, and I wasn't aware of USPS doing away with online discounts. So, thanks for bringing that to my attention!
