Smart Ship Tip: Visit the eBay Shipping Calculator to compare pricing for all shipping services.
Unfortunately, despite the instructions in the announcement, it does not appear the eBay Shipping Calculator has been updated to show UPS Ground Saver rates yet.
However, they are available within the label purchasing process in Seller Hub and it appears that eBay's rates are the same as the publicly shown rates from Pirate Ship and other providers - at least for the size and weight combinations I tested.
As always, sellers will want to price check based on the specific weight, dimensions and ship to location as there may be some variations across shipping label providers.
