It appears they are doing this to those of us without a store that are using the free 50 listings. Exactly one week after the listing is live if it doesn't sell.

Supposedly Ebay has negotiated new stellar rates with Fed Ex since Amazon cut their contract with them, but the consensus on the seller boards seems to be wait till the end of month invoice to make sure there isn't any surprises.

Going to wait till the beginning of next month and experiment with listing bulkier items to test shipping rates.
