I find ebay shipping to be easy and accurate if you do it right. You need choose calculated shipping and enter accurate weight and accurate box dimensions. If you do that, ebay will calculate the correct shipping. If the shipping rates change mid-auction, they will get it right. Also, the shipping your customer pays is based upon the rate at the post office (unless you tell them to pass your discount along to the customer) so your discount will actually only lower your cost. Yes, sometimes Priority comes out cheaper than parcel select, mostly on light and small items. The post office does this intentionally to promote their preferred product. Flat rate is your friend on heavier items but not on light items. But, no doubt, one of the most important items is the box size for accurate pricing...
