That allows USPS to then charge the package as if it had been shipped at the local PO via Retail rates but of course Ebay does nothing to help explain these problems to their customers as it is all about collecting more money down the road when the seller winds up with to many late shipments or complaints from the buyers and fall below standard and USPS has done nothing to educate their employees about this new program. This issue could have also happened erroneously due to the USPS employees not knowing about the program and them seeing the printed label and thinking the mailer was trying to cheat the system and flagged it for shipment via First Class Package which is why the increase was made. The seller who had to pay the postage due amount probably had an envelope that was thicker than the 1/4 inch that USPS designates is the maximum thickness for anything being shipped via First Class Mail without paying additional fees for doing so. This program is nothing but another scam for Ebay to be able to charge the Sellers that additional 5% for falling below average because they depended on a poorly designed and implemented program from Ebay, which as we all know are always looking for another way to reach into a sellers pockets and this is what they came up with since they were losing out on all of the potential revenue from those sending PWE's. This causes the Seller to now have a defect for late shipment because their is no proof that Ebay will accept that you mailed the item within your stated handling time unless you have moved that out also.Īgain the final scan is happening at the last sorting but before being delivered to the local post office for delivery which makes the Buyer worried that they did not get their item and in fact they still may not see it for another 2-3 days after that last scan. The scan that Ebay talks about it supposed to be happening when the item goes through one of their sorting machines and that is not always happening, but even when it does is showing up late because of the delays USPS has been having with even getting the items to their sorting hubs and the backup that is already occurring at that stage of the game. The problem that is happening is the employees at the local post offices know absolutely nothing about the program which also does not allow for scheduling a pickup if that is all you have going out. A seller can send an envelope for as little as $0.51 with the so called tracking.
