Can Ebay change an item's shipping charge?

I don't sell very often, but something just happened that I'm a bit confused about.

Whenever I sell a card, I always charge $3 S&H...never an exception.

I listed a card recently, and today it was purchased and paid for; except the S&H charge was $2.32! How did this happen? I know I didn't type that amount in anywhere!

  • No, eBay can't do that.

    $2.32 is the standard "calculated" amount for a card - which means you probably forgot to enter a shipping cost.

    I just went back through the selling and item page and it looks like once you've selected USPS First Class shipping, the only options are either $2.32 or Free. This is new and totally understandable. Hopefully it will prevent SH stardinging for sellers.

    I gave up on Flea Bay shipping costs. Everything I put up for auction has free shipping. I just add a couple bucks to the item and even then I get burned as one person won an auction in...wait for it....GITMO! It took three weeks for the person to get it but everything turned out all right. So I guess U.S.A only includes military bases in Guantanamo Bay Cuba!

    FYI...when you list you have the ability to create a shipping exclusion list for countries/areas you don't want to ship to. One of the checkboxes is for APO/FPO, which would take Gitmo out of the equation. FYI.
