I'm missing something here....well, most likely because I haven't read their
new "agreement" policy. I always just ship USPS priority flat rate, eat a
few bucks, and bypass all the Ebay labels and stuff and junk and stuff and
crap. What's the main issue?

Hi Adam and List
I agree with you, Adam, BUT lets not forget that UPS, FedEx etc... don't
have
ANY cost in dealing with snailmail (people, infrastructure etc...) which
certainly is the least beneficial post for USPS.
When I lived in US, I remember the same kind of debate about the Bells
and the telephone newcomers which didn't have to bear the cost of
the public tel cabins, their repairs etc...
Lets try to be fair in our judgement
All the best to all
Michael B.
PS: I have no personal interest in any telecommunication company
whatsoever...

It just shows how behind the times the United States Postal Service is.
They raise international shipping costs by %50 after raising it every
year for the last several years. What are we getting for these massive
increases? Nothing!
Now packages have to be shipped twice, eBay's way of Band-Aiding a
serious problem! UPS, FedEx and EMS have been able to track
international packages for over two decades! It shows when the U.S.
Government oversees an operation like USPS that we can count on extreme
inefficiency.
I would fire the entire board and and tell the replacement board to
learn something from the private sector!

The downside for the buyer is that they will have to pay taxes on the
full value.

under the new overseas shipping policy you send your package to a
shipping service, which then sends and tracks your package to the
customer. The customer will no longer be able to claim they did not get
the package.
an improvement over previous policy.
cheers
