No increase in First Class Package service (Ground Advantage). At least I won’t have to spend a month changing the postage for thousands of listings.

This is completely true! Of course they are the only ones offering eBay Labels, so no matter what they charge, it would be the best rate.

I have to think USPS is trying to kill it off as a separate mail class and option. Good news perhaps for brick and mortar booksellers, bad news for the competitiveness of small online booksellers.

I wish USPS would do more on the cost control side, especially making its unionized and other employees pay a considerable higher share of their healthcare coverage – they enjoy some pretty generous terms, much more so even than federal employees who have a pretty sweet deal.

Since East Coast to East Coast shipping rarely goes via air. I think I will now offer the Ground Advantage as a shipping option.

But First Class Package, which as you point out is being merged into the new Ground Advantage, will see what is in effect a slight decrease (average). Shocker, I know.

I would consider getting rid of it to be a change, no? Or does this mean that Ground Advantage will cost exactly the same as First Class does now? No price increase on First Class would be nice, but I’ll believe that when I see it!
