Maximum Shipping and Handling Costs
Limits on shipping and handling charges for select categories
Starting in October, limits on shipping and handling charges* will be in effect for select categories. These maximums apply to the first flat-rate shipping service within or into the U.S. Sellers are required to offer at least one shipping option within the maximum and may offer other options above the maximums for expedited or international shipping.
When listing in categories with limits on shipping and handling charges, the only time when sellers are allowed to charge more than the maximum is when using the shipping calculator to set the actual size and weight of the item, including packing materials, to calculate actual shipping cost. When using the shipping calculator, sellers should make sure the calculated cost isn't higher than the actual shipping cost or it will be considered excessive shipping. See FAQs for more details.
