How to edit shipping policies in eBaymag
All shipping policies for all items are collected on the Shipping Policies page:
To edit an existing shipping policy, click on its name and make changes in the description that opens.
Changes will be applied to listings created in eBaymag, but the policy remains the same in original listings.
How to create a new shipping policy in eBaymag
You can create a new shipping policy by clicking the "Create shipping policy" button.
Name your shipping policy and select the handling time: how many working days does it take you to ship your items after receiving the payment.
Create shipping tariffs. There are 3 pricing options available: Free shipping worldwide, Flat shipping worldwide and "Сost varies by buyer location and shipping service".
1. Free shipping option raises your listings higher in the search results. To create a policy with free shipping worldwide, select a "Free shipping worldwide" pricing option.
2. To create a flat shipping policy select a pricing option "Flat: same cost worldwide, may vary by shipping service". Then fill in the information about your tariffs.
Each eBay site automatically determines the ways of delivery from these available tariffs and shows them to the buyer.
If you're offering a flat rate shipping cost, where all buyers pay the same amount, you can add a fixed amount for each additional item purchased. For example, if the shipping cost on the first item is $5 you could choose to charge just $2 in shipping for each additional purchase.
3. You can also create a shipping policy with different prices for different countries by selecting an option "Сost varies by buyer location and shipping service". Learn more about how to set it up
The last step of creating a shipping policy is selecting the return options. Offering a minimum 30-day return policy helps you to qualify for Top Rated Seller Benefits.
How to assign the new shipping policy to your listings
To assign this new policy to existing listings, go back to the Items page, select all the items you want to assign a policy to and choose the new policy from the list.
Then click "Apply changes"
