What is the Etsy shipping label glitch?

The Etsy shipping label glitch has made all the users feel scared to use the shipping labels on the website. A Twitter user wrote: "Warning to Etsy sellers: Etsy is experiencing a glitch where it's overcharging sellers for shipping labels. Postage that's $2.84 is being charged $284 or $8.50 is being charged $850. Some have been charged thousands and being hit with overdraft fees from their banks".

This issue is due to some glitch that is causing the site to miss out a decimal point. During this Etsy shipping label glitch, users think they are paying the bill amount as per the charges but end paying 100 times more. For example, if your bill is $1.20, you might end up paying $120 as the glitch is not allowing the site to read the decimal point in between. This is the reason why ETSY overcharged shipping from users who are making payments using the site.
