It’s really up to personal preference. Either way you have to sell the item for the same amount if you want to sell it, the trending price. So you learn to build in the shipping into your price or you charge a fixed amount. But if an item is trending at $40 you either list it at $40 free shipping or $35 plus 5 shipping. You can’t list for $40 plus shipping because it wouldn’t sell with other listings priced lower. So it’s more of a process of learning how much shipping will cost (eBay shipping calc) because either way you kind of have to know what it’s going to cost to build it into your price. Sorry if this didn’t answer, it’s kind of something you just have to learn by doing it.
Thanks
Just a reminder on parcel select there is no included insurance. About every other service includes it so if not much different then I stick with ups ground or priority

@MillennialProfit
Жыл бұрын
If it’s nice shoes you should put the shoebox in a separate box. It’s not really going to raise the price much because it is already over a pound so it’s already going to go priority most likely and the dimensions arent going to be super big so it’s not going to raise it for that either. Just use a scrap box like you would get in the mail from Amazon. And for the Priority shoeboxes that you get in the mail no you don’t put them in a poly Mailer, the whole point of that is you are able to send that normal priority. Don’t over complicate it on yourself, this is simple stuff. Do it a couple times and it’ll make sense. And my recommended poly mailers are linked in my description.
Thank you for this video. I just started selling on eBay this year. Shipping has been the HARDEST thing for me. If you charge for shipping - do you have to ship it the way the buyer selected. I noticed on this video, you did not. Is that because you had free shipping on it?

If you have free shipping you can ship however you want. If you charge for an expedited service like priority then you have to send it priority or another 2-3 day service. If they pay for parcel or first class then you can send it whatever

If someone buys multiple items at once, how do I correct the postage for multiple items? Thanks.

Use the shipping calculator and put into the worst case scenario ZIP Code so it will show the most it’ll cost to ship. And if they buy multiple items, you can easily send it together the two ways to do that or you can merge the orders in your orders and ship them this way or you can just ship them on one of the items and then copy paste the tracking over
How is all of these things done without a weight scale? Do I just go to the mail post? Also how is the shipping handled do I have to pay shipping myself out of my pocket?

It’s not done without a scale. Purchase a scale for like $20. You always pay for shipping on eBay whether you charge the buyer shipping or not it’s coming out of your account. Think of it as a total cost you collect from the buyer either way.

I have a good relationship with my post office so I just walk in the back and drop them off. You can also schedule pickups from them for free and put them on your porch. As for shipping, don’t ever go to the retail stores and pay their rates. They’re 2-3X higher than eBay, pirateship, or Shippo. I ship lots of light stuff under a pound so I send 90% of my items first class which is $3.30-6.30. When you get over a pound is when your rates can get ridiculous. The only reason eBay would hit you with an extra shipping fees is because you entered the incorrect weight or dimensions. If you do so and the carrier catches it, they will up charge you the retail rate. Always put in the correct weight and dimensions and always round up.

How do you decide when listing an item whether or not to offer free shipping? I’ve learned some people estimate shipping by picking a zip code that is the furthest away from them so that if it sells closer they’ll still make a profit. Any help on this? And if you do offer free shipping, you would include some amount in the price correct? Thank you!
@MillennialProfit

If you think about it either way you should have the same total price if you want to have a competitive price and make sales. I personally do free shipping and calculate what it will cost and build that into my price. But if an item is trending at $45 that’s what people are going to pay for it. They’re not going to pay $45 plus $8 shipping. So it’s either $45 free shipping or $37 plus $8 shipping. This is also why I recommend starting out with items under a pound because this will all go first class and ship for between $3-6 so it’s super easy to estimate

Either way you do it you should view it as a total price. There’s trending prices on eBay so if an item is trending at $40 free shipping, why would anyone buy yours at $40 plus shipping so you’d want to list at $40 free ship or like $32 plus $8 shipping. I find it easier to just do free shipping. Just make sure you know what things will cost to ship so you don’t get burned on your projections if you do this. The eBay shipping calculator is a great way to learn these rates.

When you purchase label from eBay does that money come out of your bank account or is it all through the eBay account with buyers funds? I'm confused.
Do people complain when you send an Amazon box when they buy on eBay?? I've been afraid of that

Click “print shipping label” on eBay on the item that sold. Or pirate ship
Do i have to ship how the buyer chose to ship, or can i ship however i want?

Only if they paid to ship priority then you must ship a 2-3 day service. Anything else and you’re fine. Also if you did free shipping then it doesn’t matter what they selected you can ship whatever

I selected buyer pays shipping but…I still have to pay 6.00 for label. Why? Shouldn’t label be including in shipping amount and paid by the buyer. Also eBay selected the shipping price and the weight & size seemed right so is that good option?

You always have to pay for shipping either way, it’s not like Poshmark. If you do calculated shipping with the correct weight and dimensions it’s going to charge the buyer more than it would cost you to ship the item.

I thought calculated shipping was a little less then eBay giving you suggested pricing? I’m sure you can tell I’m brand new at this.

Calculated shipping will charge the buyer more then it actually costs you to ship the item.

Can I send something under 1 pound in a priority mail box? And the label will need to be first class right?

You can only send priority labels in priority boxes. First class cannot go in priority boxes

They’re not that bad. They’re better than amazon and Mercari. It’s just a part of the game you have to build in.
