Calculated Shipping Costs <br> <br>

The calculated shipping cost is based on the seller's and buyer's locations, the weight and dimensions of the package, and the type of shipping services you offer.

If you use calculated shipping, a table of shipping costs will be inserted into your listing. Shipping costs will also be calculated when your buyer pays. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Enter shipping information when you list your item, such as package type, weight, dimensions, and shipping service. Be as specific as possible to ensure accurate shipping costs.

Step 2: Buyer sees calculated shipping costs on your listing.

Step 3: Buyer pays for your item and the costs are calculated automatically based on the shipping address and the package information you provided when you listed your item.

More details are below.

Step 1: Enter shipping information

Enter your shipping information in the Sell Your Item form.

Package type. You can usually categorize a shipment as a "package." For each package type there are different shipping services available from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) and UPS.
Dimensions. Enter the dimensions (length, width, and height) of the package that you're shipping. To ensure the most accurate cost, measure your package carefully and provide exact dimensions of the packaged item.
Irregular package. Select the Irregular package check box if you're shipping an irregularly shaped package or a package containing certain materials.
Weight of the package. Select the total weight of the item, box, and any packing materials. To enter the weight in pounds and ounces, select Custom weight. To ensure the most accurate cost, weigh your package carefully and provide an exact weight of the packaged item.
U.S. shipping service. Select from a list of services from UPS or USPS, such as UPS Ground or USPS Priority Mail. You can offer up to 3 U.S. shipping services for the item.
Handling time Sellers are required to let buyers know the number of days it typically takes to ship an item after receiving cleared payment.
Handling cost. Enter a handling cost to be added to the shipping cost. This amount will not be shown separately to buyers.
International shipping service. You can offer up to 3 international shipping services for the item. For each service offered, you can specify a list of locations you will ship to.
Item location. Enter the country, ZIP code, city, and state that you'll ship the item from.

Step 2: Buyer sees calculated costs

When you use calculated shipping costs, a table of shipping costs will appear in the shipping section of your listing. The listing will automatically determine the shipping cost based on the buyer's ZIP Code and the information you specified for the listing. Only the shipping service you selected will be shown. Any handling costs will be included in the shipping costs – they will not be shown to buyers.

Step 3: Buyer pays

When the buyer pays, costs will be calculated automatically based on the shipping address. The costs are calculated during the payment process for all your payment methods, including PayPal. The buyer can select from the list of shipping services you offered.
