  This should be a simple fix @eBay

  @RDKLInc @southscanner @eBay I did a sell similar on that listing to see what the seller had entered - 9 lbs, 20 x 20 x 12. If you plug that into the USPS retail postage calculator using the zip code for seller location & buyer zip in your screenshot, it does come out to $74.27 for the click & ship rate. So that means the eBay calculator is working correctly for the info provided. USPS has made some recent changes that cause the rates to go up pretty significantly depending on dimensions - for example that same 9 lbs in a 12 x 12 x 12 would only be $14.92. I'm guessing some of the sellers you're seeing with high prices may have historically padded their dimensions a bit in effort to avoid shipping adjustments after the fact & they may not realize it is affecting their pricing much more now than it may have in the past. There could certainly be other instances where the issue is an error on eBay's part but when it comes to something like this example, really the only thing eBay could do to address it is to maybe have a warning advising sellers to review their listings for correct weight & dimensions - or to consider adding other shipping methods, like the flat rate options you mentioned. Ultimately though it's up to the seller to make sure they are entering correct info & to decide which shipping options they want to offer.

  @_sportscardshop @CollectionRbt Some guy earlier this week offered me $4k on an Ohtani card I had up for $5K on eBay. I already had $4500 offers that I turned down. It sold 2 days later for $5K. Nobody should be selling for less than eBay comps with him.

  @RightsRule250 @grahamformaine @VictoriaLJohnso You’re using a platform made and operated by millionaires and billionaires. On a phone or computer made and maintained by millionaires and billionaires. Same with Amazon, EBay, etc… But sure, nothing has ever trickled down…. 🙄

  @wermzDKC We use to have a goodwill here but it closed down. Now we have something called red racks. I buy a lot of vhs at them. I looked on eBay but those people are proud of their prices.

  Hey @eBay, your support is a loop of broken promises. 11 days ago, a rep promised a refund for a confirmed False Tracking Scam. Now your bot blocks every attempt to follow up. Is "Buyer Protection" just a myth to keep fees coming in? 🚩 #CustomerService #eBayScam

  In 1999, eBay had 10M users. But sellers set prices too low because they feared no bids. So eBay added "reserve price" auctions. GMV jumped 40% in one quarter. The hard truth: your marketplace won't fix itself. You fix the incentives.

  @Eman_8282 I’d fix it up and sell it on eBay. You get a pretty penny for it.

  @ValueAddedRS @southscanner @eBay Interesting, thanks! That’s a great way to test it. I guess prices have just gone up. But also, people should not ship anything of any size with USPS, for many reasons, but one is price. I wonder if something recently has pushed people to USPS rather than FedEx/UPS, which is much better for larger items. There’s definitely a recent upsurge in this problem.

  @arentalis It's a harder one to track down now, for sure — it does pop up but on ebay it's just silly prices
