Items that include shipping sell faster. Click on the Shipping box, several options will appear. If you are not including shipping you need to select either Flat Rate, Pick Up, FedEx or Contact Seller. If you select FedEx, two boxes will open. In Weight Type, your options are lbs. or ounces. If your item is small and you are only offering 1, then select Lbs. and enter 1, however, if you are offering more than one of the same item for sale and each weighs less than a pound, select Ounces and enter the weight. An example would be selling a fitting that weighs 4 oz. You would select ounces and enter 4 for the weight. The system will multiply the quantity of the item a buyer selects to purchase, such as 3 of them. The total weight would be 12 oz.; FedEx will round it up to the nearest lb. If you simply used 1 lb. and someone bought 3 of them, the shipping would be calculated for 3 lbs. and would be much higher than it should be and could cause a sale not to happen.
When a Buyer selects your item for sale and you selected FedEx as the shipping method, the Buyer will have to enter their zip code and the Site will calculate the shipping cost to the buyer. The Site uses a FedEx interface for an estimate of the shipping costs. The cost will only be an estimate of the shipping cost. The actual shipping cost may differ a little. The shipping cost will be added to the transaction when the buyer checks out and pays for the item. If you list an item for sale and select 'Contact Seller' in the shipping selection, when a Buyer wants to buy that item they will need to send you their zip code and address (No names or contact info) so you can determine the shipping cost before the sale can be completed. Once you determine the shipping cost, email the Buyer the cost to confirm they want to purchase the item. If so, you will need to go into your account, locate the item, on the right side click on Actions and select Edit Listing. Change the shipping method to Flat Rate and enter the shipping cost. Once complete, email the Buyer so they can complete the purchase.
