My postal options are saying that Ebay second class Royal Mail is now £4.68 up to 1Kg. I am sure it used to be £3.10? It is saying that first class is £3.68 for the same weight!

RM prices are increasing from 1st January 2021,

ebay appear to have issues updating this,

just enter your own cost, ignore ebay postage estimator.

You do realise that if you use Ebay figures even when correct, that you are losing money.

If the correct postage is going to be £3.20 and you quote that on your listing after Ebay deducts their 10% you only receive £2.88 and of course Paypal also take their cut as well.

From 1st January Small Parcel 2nd Class will be £3.20 up to 2Kg.

Thanks, yes I do. But my question relates to this:

At the moment on my postage options, the only option for 2nd class up to
1kg costs £4.68. For the same weight at 1st class it is £3.68. Why is 2nd
more expensive than 1st.
