Ebay shipping with Fedex and UPS more than doubled, for estimated rates.
Summary: eriekexouwyrn0 reported a significant increase in shipping costs after eBay removed Canada Post as a shipping option to the USA. They switched to FedEx and UPS, and despite initial rate estimates of $17 to $22, the final cost for FedEx International Economy was $50, which is more than double the estimated amount and higher than what FedEx charges without an eBay discount. They are questioning why the costs are so high, especially since tariffs are not applicable until August 29th, and this was just for standard economy shipping.
Ebay recently removed Canada Post as an option for shipping to the USA, so I switched my shipping to Fedex and UPS. The rates were estimated at $17 - $22 for a small item, but when the shipper bought the item, the priced jumped to $50 for FedEx International Economy. This is more than double that what FedEx would charge without eBay discount. What is going on? Tariffs are not even a thing yet, as de minimis does not end until August 29th, and the amount is just for straight economy shipping.
