Ebay labels not quite the bargain as it initally appears | Selling

After using the discounted ebay labels for over a year now, I accidently discovered that the label price that I see when buying a label isn't necessarily the same price that ebay eventually deducts from me as label fees. I charge all my buyers with exact shipping and that price initially shows as the deducted fee, but once that item reaches Canada Post processing several days later... many of those fees are jumping as much as $4.00 and in one case even doubled. And before you say anything, all my weight and size listings are exact and correct (I own a ruler and a digital scale, thank you very much), yet some fees are very quietly getting bumped up days after purchase and with no notice from ebay or CP. I would advise checking your order details for deducted label fees for each item a week or so after purchasing them. One recent ebay $4.95 Expedited Lite ebay label from Hamilton, Ontario to the Mississauga shipping hub very quietly jumped to a $11.05 label fee several days later without any explaination.Ebay Customer help informed me that it is Canada Post doing this and not ebay itself and there doesn't seem to be any way to address this.
