I verified just now - Shippo did not yet adjust.

Quite strange that Shippo did not adjust, since it's eBay Canada’s official third-party label printing solution.

Figured that was what was going on. Some kind of opting in to have access to the new maximum Level 4 discount. They just forgot to pass that on to us. Similar to eBay Labels CP account attached to eBay. Last message I got from my contact at Shipo was a request for the comparison of the 2 rates. (eBay/Shippo). What you determined I expect to hear back in the am to confirm the same. Hopefully with this way of doing things this will cause no issues for claims etc going forward, seeing as Shippo will the account on record vs the seller.

As a side note the following disclaimer has been visible for the past few months on Shippo.
Most likely this "special" account has been in the works for awhile. We just didn't have access to it until it went live.

From a Shippo perspective, if they are unable to offer/match those rates any current sellers using Shippo would most likely, pardon the pun, jump Ship-po very quickly!!!
He'll be here all week folks. And please, try the fish. 🙂

On Friday I had a U.S. Tracked Packet with a couple of booklets of stamps that I had priced out in me wee old noggin as approximately $45 with Fuel Surcharge + GST. And then, my receipt showed this:
Where else could that SFSB savings of $7.24 on a $45.00 purchase have come from? It certainly wasn't the stamps...
The savings you're seeing at retail (over the counter) are from an update about a month ago. Previously, Canada Post had a separate "Level 1" savings depending on whether you purchased your labels online or at the post office (the online one was always greater). But about a month back they just merged the two, so now evereyone with a SFSB account is getting the Level 1 Online discount, which is why you're seeing an increased discount at the counter.
Level 1 discount is still the highest discount you can get at the post office counter though, so if you want these new Level 4 discounts you'll have to purchase your postage online through eBay (or online through Canada Post SnapShip/EST if you spend more than $7500 annually on postage).
Well, it happened again @dinomitesales ... a U.S. Tracked Packet to AR starting at $17.70 CAD, just closed at $11.79 (including the Fuel Surcharge).
That's upwards of $5.00 CAD savings over-the-counter with only my SFSB card. Whether Level 1 or Level 4, it's still a healthy discount without the need for another middleware label app.
Looks like I have some International Shipping rates to update...
Here are two labels to Norway (250g). Definitely, Shippo decided not to adjust at all - so ... bye, bye, Shippo!

The recurring word I keep getting from Shippo is they are looking into it. They've been looking into it since April 27th.
I processed a parcel to N. Ab earlier today. Rate with Shippo would be 20.87 by Expedited Level 1. The rate with eBay labels was 16.00 by Xpresspost or 15.92 by Expedited. Upgraded for the massive 8 cent difference. The only real differences between the 2 options in Shippo's favour are instant billing with a receipt, a better customs form for Internationally shipping + the option to buy more insurance if you require above listed value. (You can throw in timely customer service...Usually.)
I have also noticed if you go with eBay Labels it is slightly more difficult to access recent Shippo shipments if you need to compare anything. In the past if you created a shipment with Shippo you could go to the order details and get directly to Shippo. Now that option is MIA.
