more "you owe us for underpaid postage" nonsense

A couple years ago I got hit with these EVERY postage label I bought through Paypal's "ship now" link, but only through Paypal. None whatsoever when shipped direct through eBay. Go figure they stopped when I openly complained, have had years of buying labels direct without issues until now. These have started again, 2 notices tonight for packages sent 2 months ago- the only "evidence" being what Paypal's email states, nothing else, on packages I know were the correct weights. No ability to challenge or dispute Paypal's emails, merely locking me out of buying postage labels until I pay their demands. I believe I will simply stop using their service as this is either Paypal or USPS scamming me for extra money. I'll be taking packages to the USPS counter instead. I'd rather risk contracting COVID in public than deal with more of this nonsense.

I also got two last night!! One of the packages was returned to me, so I have it IN MY HANDS as proof that the weight/description is correct. Something is up.

I have the same issue. It regarding dimensions. It actual and recorded dimensions are same. So why they are charging me more postage and I have lot of these. Is there a way I can dispute with PayPal? It looks like PayPal is giving me different amount to pay when I buy shipping label and usps charging different.

Another one tonight for something mailed Jan 27th Priority Mail, 4 pounds. Owe $3.89. Their reason- "Packaging type mismatch". Nothing even mentions weight. That tells me nothing. They can either provide some valid proof other than that, waive the fee or I can use Pirate Ship to mail things from now on. I'm not paying this one without something more substantial to back it up. Frankly, with all the alternative payment methods popping up, I really don't even need Paypal anymore. They're now just an option on eBay rather than required, none of my bills are paid by them anymore, Mercari only offers them as one option, etc. I think this sinking ship is trying to swindle the shippers for extra cash, knowing they offer us no chance to fight their claims.
