FRB rate increases effective 1/17/16

Old/new rates (ouch) :evil:

SFRB - $5.95/$6.80
MFRB - $12.65/$13.45
LFRB - $17.90/$18.75

eBay changed the rate right in the middle of an auction of mine. Can they do that? I'll still honor the old rate even if costs me a buck or two.

They must be hurting to do this when gas prices are so low with oil in a protracted downturn.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

I think they are realizing more people buy online. Things are going to change, Your grandkids may never know what a shopping mall was.

It's when you ship that matters and it's USPS rates so I believe eBay's off the hook this time. A buyer used BIN on Saturday on one of my items but didn't pay until Sunday so I had to pay the higher rate myself.
