"Free shipping" listings (shipping price $0) mean you absorb the postage — the rate increase comes straight out of your margin. They're flagged as Review because the loss depends on what you were paying before.

USPS raises rates 2–3× a year, and each one quietly turns profitable listings into losers. I'm building a free alert service that re-checks your listings before every rate change and emails you the ones that need a price bump. Drop your email for the beta.

What's changing on July 12, 2026
USPS is eliminating the sub-1 lb ounce tiers on Ground Advantage Commercial. Today a light item ships in the 4 oz or 8 oz tier. After July 12, everything under 1 lb is billed at the 12–15.99 oz rate (~$6.42 commercial at the lowest zone, ~$8.40 retail) — there are no longer cheaper 4 oz / 8 oz / 12 oz prices. It's part of an ~11.8% average Ground Advantage Commercial increase.
If you set a flat shipping price below that, you eat the difference on every sale. A listing charging $3.99 shipping on a 6 oz item goes from roughly break-even to a ~$2.40 loss per order.
Free-shipping listings are hit too — the postage you absorb just went up, straight off your margin.
Items 1 lb and over are largely unaffected by this specific change (their tiers stay). If your CSV has a weight column, map it and we'll skip those.
Buying labels through eBay, Pirate Ship, or a 3PL? The tier change is to USPS's published commercial price list. USPS says accounts with separately negotiated commercial rates aren't automatically affected — but most marketplace/platform rate cards track the published structure closely, so check your provider's July rate card. This tool screens against the published commercial floor.
