Bulk Edit - Adding additional shipping option?
Hi,
I am fairly new to Ebay and definitely still learning. Is there a way to add a 2nd shipping alternative to my listings in bulk? Most of my listings have economy shipping, but I would like to add USPS Ground Advantage to them not individually. Any advice would be appreciated.

You've gotten some great advice.
I am going to 2nd the suggestion that you use "Business Policies" and set up shipping policies.
It's easy then to add to or change shipping choices on a group of listings all at once.
You might have a Shipping Policy for "eBay Standard Envelope"
First choice 'eBay Standard Envelope' or Economy Shipping
Second Choice 'Ground Advantage'
Third choice ' Priority Mail
And other shipping policy for "Comic Books"
First Choice 'Ground Advantage'
second choice ' Priority Mail

Mentor11 months ago@tim_likes_paper_collectibles Just an FYI comics do NOT qualify for Media Mail. That is the only thing I can think of that you are using for "economy shipping".
USPS can and does open packages and will charge the higher shipping rate.
I really like this chart that shows what is available>

Business Policies would be a good option for setting up your shipping. You can create a policy that has more than one shipping method and apply it to as many listings as you wish.

Mentor11 months agoHi @tim_likes_paper_collectibles
Yes, you can Edit - Add shipping services via eBay's Bulk Editor:
-Go to your Active list and use the check box on the left of 5 items. First time through we will work with 5 and you can do more later once you become familiar with the process.
-At the top of the Active list use the Edit drop-down menu and click Edit Selected
-The items will be moved to the Bulk Editor. Use the check box above the list of 5 items to check them all.
-Above the list is the Bulk Edit drop-down menu, scroll down to Domestic shipping and click that
-On the first pop-up check the Change to choice, on the next pop up use the drop down menu and select Calculated. Next go down to the Shipping service line and use the right arrow icon on the right to show the choices. Use the slider bar to go up and down the list. Cycle through completion when finished and with all 5 items check use the blue Submit button in the lower right hand corner of the page.

OP11 months agoI am trying to add an additional shipping option but dont want to change my primary option for any of my listings? I tried following your steps and don't see how to do that without changing my primary option?

My sincere apologies, when I checked the process before posting I just selected one ... I just did it again and you are right; it only allows one choice. I know on the listing tool you can add additional services.
Now, I am curious, you say you are fairly new to eBay yet you have sold over 2,600 items, the account was opened in 2018 and you have sold 653 items in the last 90 days as of this writing. Would you care to explain that?
