USPS postage fees increase
 

Just check the USPS website. They increase the postage fees on Jan 22. Haizzz

Flat Rate Envs 12-1/2" x 9-1/2" 5.15
Flat Rate Padded Env 5.3
Legal Flat Rate Env 5.3
Small Flat Rate Box 5.35
Med Flat Rate Boxes 11.35
Large Flat Rate Boxes 15.45

Hope Ebay/PP still keep the same rates :D

Thanks for the update. :)

Yes, it will be interesting to see what the actual update will be through eBay & PayPal shipping.

Still looks cheap to me. The usps needs and deserves this increase. Flat rate shipping has been too good to me.

Ha? I usually ship by Flat rate so I posted only flat rate here, but of course other services increase too. So it's still ok for you :confused:?

Canada Post rates also have gone up - sucks for us folx.

Hope other sellers increase their prices so I can too :D

Hey maybe its just me but I don't care if they increase a little don't need the post office near me closing down

Rates ARE goping up, but in some cases, delivery confirmation will now be included in the cost. For those paying commercial base pricing (includes eBay users) the increases are very small. In some cases, you costs may even go down if you were paying for delivery confirmation.

The BIG increases will be to those people who buy their postage at the retail counter. If you mail in any volume I don't understand WHY ON EARTH you would want to do that! It is so much easier just to walk in with a few bins of mail and drop them on the counter and leave. No lines, no waiting and no answering questions about what you do from curious onlookers.

For people who just occasionally send mails, they don't care much if they have to pay extra $1 or $2, no need to worry about printing, labels, all kinds of stuff, so just go to post office and get things done. (Like me, I never cared until I started selling, now I try to save as much 10 cents (like poly bags) as I can :lol:)

WOW, new USPS fees are amazing.
Priority Mail International - Flat Rate Envelope $16.95 <---- $13.25 (international - Ebay label)
Only First class seems to stay the same.
How am I supposed to sell with this surged fee?
