Printing labels after postage increase

[shoppingbag*]

Postage costs are going up yet again from October 1st.  The last time there was an increase, eBay Postage labels took a few days to be updated to the new price. As a result, I paid over the counter for each one, then manually uploaded tracking numbers ( a real pain)  Then, getting fed up after a couple of days, I just printed one at the old price and it went on it's merry way without a glitch.

So, just wondering, if the same thing happens this time, what to do?? Should we just continue to print out labels at the old rate?

Isn't it up to eBay to update this, and why should we have to worry about it?  Would there be any repercussions coming back on sellers who just keep printing labels at the available rate?

Your thoughts on this please.

Very good point. So does that mean it is ok to keep printing labels regardless. I have only been selling for a short time, so I am still learning. Could some of you more experienced sellers tell me what you do in this situation. I just don't want to have to go through paying over the counter. However, I don't sell much, so there is every possibility it wont affect me, as I my not sell anything in the time period when the price is changing, but I would just like to be prepared in case.

Many thanks to all who have replied so far.

AP always increases prices twice a year.....there have been notices in the local POs for several weeks now stating that the new prices will apply from the 1st October.
