eBay overriding postage weight/prices in your listings. | Seller Central

Anyone had this happen to them yet? A relative told me they received an email from eBay yesterday to inform them the parcel weight of an item had been changed because of 'improved packaging data'. The item was quite an expensive book, so the relative had selected an appropriate weight to allow for posting in a box. However, eBay 'decided' it could be posted at a lower weight/price, so had gone ahead and adjusted the listing. The message went on to say 'if you would like to review or change anything, you can update the package details in your listing at any time'. So, watch out... eBay could be auto-tinkering with your postage selection to what they think it should be, behind your back... 🤖
