Getting ripped off by Ebay calculator system

[retrowise]

It's not the first time that post cost increased while Ebay calculator lagged behind resulting in me loosing money. But this time it's rediculous. In my listings I normally have overseas cost set as standard post with signature. Now that option dissepeared from all my listings, only showing standard post. That means I get riped off for the signature.

Yesterday I posted item where Ebay charged buyer only $29 but at the post office I had to pay $37. This is not only $1-2 anymore like in the past, this is good money lost due to Ebay not being able or not wanting to get things working correctly.

I had to add $8 handling fee to over 150 items  last night manually! because there is no bulk edit option for this.

And yes, I do get my post cost always correct, been doing this since Ebay started.

How many of you have lost money this way thanks to Ebay?

Not me. I worked out years ago that eBay can't be trusted to calculate postage correctly.

I just used fixed postage and bulk edit when the prices change. Easier.

Not me - sold to overseas today and it had the correct postage.

Very true. Ebay postage system is totaly messed up.

I have taken out express postage options from all internationals as even my $6 handling was at times not enough to cover the extra amounts I had to pay at the post office. And remember that ebay charges 10% on postage.
