Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but with eBay, almost all of my heavier packages cross the country, which makes no sense unless those are the places eBay is showing my items. Not many sales in zones 1 thru 4 from the East Coast. With eBay, higher shipping costs has always been more money in their pocket. Let’s see if anything changes for the better. Time will tell.
Just had a 2.5lb package sold on eBay traveling about 100 miles, so same zone. Price for Priority on eBay $7.97, price on Stamps, $7.97. So where is the discount, or is Stamps offering the same?
