USPS just upped the minimum price for First Class PACKAGE shipping (both domestic and international) and it really cuts into my margins for selling light weight items on ebay. I'm considering abandoning the %20 final value fee credit from being a top-rated seller in favor of shipping many of my items in a simple first class letter, which my items will fit in. However, the cost of doing so will also be reduced exposure in ebay searches and increased item not received claims that I cannot defend.
Any thoughts? Anyone else feeling the sting of these increased rates?
