Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6857 Posts	Posted Today 1H 56M ago Today I had a head scratcher for USPS shipping. A 9oz package containing $77 worth of War Nickels cost $6.45 to send. A 1oz package containing a single silver half dollar for $25 cost $7.45 to send. Nothing I did with any parameters reduced the price of the single coin. Is there some way to work the ebay software better to get a smarter price? What exactly triggered the higher price in the first place? Or maybe ebay subsidized the bigger package more for some reason? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 194255 Posts	Posted Today 1H 43M ago That is odd. Are they charging by distance, like UPS or FedEx? Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6857 Posts	Posted Today 1H 12M ago I think you're right, Jbuck. The half dollar is going 1000+ miles, and the heavier package is going a few hundred at most. I didn't realize that the USPS Ground Advantage zones were baked into ebay's shipping label pricing. I think maybe for coins around $20, it's a better plan to just set the price at $20 firm so I can use the ebay Envelope shipping option, which is $0.78 for a 1 oz package. Lesson learned.
