I suspect that is what led to your problem
If you just relisted the item and did not make the changes to the shipping Calculator the price for a bigger and heavier package is going to be higher then for the original smaller package
As a BONUS for you >> In a Bad way
You are also running into Dimensional weight
With USPS if the package is larger then 1 cubic foot and going a decent distance (Zones 5 - 8 ) you are charged on how much weight that size package would "Normally" weigh
So even though your package weighs in at 5 pounds >> You are charged for 11 or 20 pounds
Cubic foot of course being 1728 cubic inches
Your package of
