When you ship Priority Mail packages with the USPS Postal Service, and those packages are 1 lbs. and over, your pricing for the shipping (if not flat rate boxes) is determined by weight, size of box, and zone. The zone starts as 1 from where you ship from, and goes to zone 8, usually the farthest US territory away from you.
Note: eBay does not allow links in guides, so you must copy/paste the http line you want below in your browser address bar for fast direct access.

Determine if your package size is charged more because of size (i.e. over 1 cu ft), rather than weight here:

(NOTE: Typically Dimensional Weight - DIM - is calculated like this for US-destination packages: using the package’s Length (L), Width (W), and Height (H) measurements in inches, rounding up to the next full number for each measurement. You multiply L x W x H to get a number that is the cubic inches of your package, divided that result by 194, and that number is the weight, in pounds. You round up, and pay that amount for packages that have a cubic foot over 1.)
