eBay cut on shipping supply size
Thought i would share the find as i personally kinda laughed at noticing it.
Both from the eBay supply store. Both were bought as 6.25'' x 8.5'' and from the SAME listing.
On the left the ones i bought 6 months ago. On the right the ones i bought last week.
They removed 1 inch length. They grind us really hard. Picture attached.

·3 years agoIt seems to be like that with everything these days. A lot of items we buy at the grocery store have less product per package than they used to. Of course the prices still go up.

You may want to message the seller with your observation. They could have gotten in new stock and didn't realize the difference so did not update their listing accordingly. If, because of the size discrepancy the product does not work for you it would be a valid INAD.

And water-based paper tape?

Welcome to "Shrinkflation"!!!
They have updated the sizes on some of their boxes. Unsure if they were using improper measurements and realized after the fact and/or were corrected by buyers. Did they do that too with the pouches? If you compare prices small to large on the boxes a few of the smaller sizes are prized higher than the larger sizes. Thank you cards have gone up 4.00 in the last 2 years. Stickers are the same price.
For the OP their choice may be influenced by the actual size of the pouches. They may now have 1 that does not work for their purpose.

PS. Was a recent episode on Marketplace on the subject.

Water.
I sell paper collectibles. Water is my greatest fear.
