I just got this in my email. They sent out something similar last year, but said it was recommended or optional. They aren't saying that in this message.
Dear XXXXXXXX,
We appreciate your business and want to be a business partner you continue to rely upon to facilitate easy and cost-effective shipments through the United States Postal Service. We are facing a business problem that we need your help to resolve because of the method of payment and the type of shipments you send. We need you to work with us to find a solution that helps us overcome this difficulty while still preserving the ease and convenience of our services.
The US Postal Service has always required PC Postage vendors to share in the cost of credit-card processing for postage purchases. The USPS policy and rational are confidential and are explained on our web-site at www.endicia.com/USPSPaymentPolicy.cfm.
Our share of the processing costs becomes prohibitive when a large proportion of a customer’s mail is sent as non-expedited mail (i.e., First Class Mail, Media Mail, Parcel Post, Library Rate, Bound Printed Matter and certain international airmail. Your account has crossed this limit and we urge you to immediately change to an alternate payment method in order to continue to use your account as you currently do. Please follow one of the options explained at www.endicia.com/USPSPaymentOptions.cfm to change your payment method
Please note that you may continue to use a credit card for “expedited” mail such as Priority Mail, Express Mail, Global Express Mail, Global Priority Mail and Global Air-Parcel Post without any change in the way you do business with Endicia.
Please feel free to contact us so that we can further analyze your account and find a solution that is mutually agreeable. If we are unable to mutually resolve the method of payment and the type of mail you send, we may need to suspend your account.
We hope that we can continue to provide you with leading edge postage technology, and we thank you for choosing Endicia!

It's there way of stating that they don't wish to raise fees on your account, but if you continue to use a credit card on the low dollar items, they will have no choice.
