The cost is 12.50.
The Ebay replacements are marked USPS just like the the originals. No you cannot buy the one key the controls the postal station. No it is not shady to replace your own mail box key, no it is not illegal. Now Charging 100.00 for A 12.50 key now that is...

I was told that in The Villages you cannot change your locks yourself. I live in Calumet Grove and they sent me to the Post Office near Spanish Springs. The cost for lock replacement including 3 keys was $25. They give you 2 keys when you pay then when the lock is installed in approximately a week they put the 3rd key in your box.
