Can you tell eBay you want to charge the buyer the discounted shipping rate and not the retail rate?
Slap me silly because I just realized that when I set my listings to charge shipping based on where the buyer lives they use the retail cost of postage, not the discounted rate we get through eBay or Pirate Ship, etc.
I have some items that are 2 oz when packed in a bubble mailer (too thick for an envelope) and it wants to charge someone in my same ZIP code almost $8 shipping, when it would cost me $5-ish. I was wondering wtf I haven't sold any of these in months when they used to be a top seller. The last couple of postage increases have really done a number on me.
