Haha I think that was a fail but at least I didn't lose money we will see how other sales go- might be too many fees involved to do it the way I am doing it. I didn't waste any money on gas since i picked up the duvet cover while out shopping anyways with a friend and I had to go to the PO BOX anyways so shipped it then.
Why is the shipping cost so high? I would adjust your price (shipping and handling) to account for the Ebay fee and the paypal fee....
ReplyDeleteyeah I am going to have to charge more for shipping, I am not sure if it would have been cheaper to through fed ex but thats what the post office lowest shipping was- I was guessing when I set the shipping price.
ReplyDeleteThere should be a way that you can set actual shipping. I think you need to know the dimensions of the package and the weight and then you enter that information. Then when the prospective buyer wants to know what shipping is they enter the destination zip code and it tells them what actual shipping cost is (would be nice if you could add the handling costs into that formula - you know $2 for the box etc.). You'll get the hang of it.
