I really am trying! I do not want to give up. I swear I looked at that maximized shipping tools section twenty five times,looking for the word calculated -- but this time EUREKA I see it! Thank you so much for helping me out. I did post my first item for sale via Auctiva on eBay yesterday, and if I'd been able to open my eyes a little wider I'd be 100% happy.
Thank you for taking the time to put me on the right track. I decided to try Auctiva because I saw so many listings on eBay using Auctiva that looked good.
