This is driving me crazy. Ebay inserts shipping costs for items that is completely unrealistic. Even when I select the “calculate postage” option, they insert a shipping cost that never matches up with reality. Additionally, if I select Priority shipping, they limit the amount to $4.00, regardless of weight. I recently went through this hassle with a buyer who wanted his item sent priority, but eBay wouldn’t allow him to pay more than $4 shipping, even though the priority cost was nearly $18. He ended up having to make two payments.
So:
Is there a way to turn this off?
Why the $4.00 upper limit?
