Just great, that's all we need, a load of editing for the third time this year and with no warning either.
They have already killed off my trade to the USA on another site with the last huge great price hike !

I thought that the increase in prices to the USA was due to the US postal service increase, but perhaps I'm wrong.

1 July 2020 "As a result of exceptional cost increases outside of our control, we are reluctantly introducing pricing changes for parcels being sent to the USA from 1 July. We are limiting the increase to only recover the costs we are experiencing. "

looking at some of the increases I may start just charging buyers to fly me over 1st class with a week in a 5* resort might be cheaper. Remember too the more the postage the more money paypal will take - so cheap but 'heavy' items wont be worth sending. Great way to help the economy. Strange thing is Large Letters & letters are same price or cheaper to send to US than rest of world but parcels below 1.75kg are more expensive. At 2kg once more it's cheaper to send to US
