Shipping fee question

Hi Donna, Yes you can add a handling fee right from your template in Auctiva. Maximize the Shipping Tools section, select Calculated Shipping and you'll see a box where you can enter your packaging and handling costs.

I use both flat rate and calculated shipping rates. Ebay does not prevent you from adding a small handling fee, but they will prevent you from adding an excessive one. For instance, if you're selling an item that weighs one pound and you're shipping using USPS Priority, charging a $15 handling fee will probably get you slapped with fee circumvention policy violation and your listing may be removed.

I keep my packaging fees as low as I can but often they do not cover my costs. It's the way Ebay wants us to do business.

Thanks! I'm wanting to add just $1.00 handling fee, so I should be OK.

suspect ebay would let you add 1000.00 handling fee if they were getting a percentage of it

LOL!!!

I guess I'm missing where I can click and choose free shipping. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi Cheryl,
Well.....I came on here to answer your question, but after double-checking the SHIPPING section on the LISTINGS page, I'm not seeing the FREE SHIPPING selection either. Sorry, I'm of no help...I could have SWORN I saw it there. Oh well, someone will be able to answer your question. Sorry.

To indicate free shipping, all you need to do is enter "0" in the box where it says "cost" in the shipping tools section of your listing page.
