Hi Bill_56,   Paypal just gave you an impersonal and a no resolution boilerplate answer that can stick up the bottom of their desktop.   I found the previous answer from Aireamme to be the most useful. As he says, play around with the options.   However, to cut it short, what you should have done to match the pricing was to NOT choose "Large" package as your option.   Try it out next time.   Take it easy.   -Chicagobay ...

USPS rates higher through PayPal?

Has it occurred to anyone that the USPS rates through PayPal can be much higher than those applied directly through the USPS website? I had calculated the postage through www.usps.com which gave me a total price of $12.96 if shipping an 8 lb box via Parcel Post at the post office. However, when trying to purchase the postage online through Paypal, I was asked to pay $20.16!!   Am I missing something here? I thought ebay sellers were getting a break if using paypal to ship. Does anyone have an answer to this mysterious discrepancy?   Thanks. Chicagobay ... View more
