Handling charges $$

Question

New to selling and forgot to include handling charges.I'm not sure how to calculate the costs for extra materials like double boxing and bubble wrap, as well as the time it takes to pack these items. How should I factor in these handling costs, especially for fragile items? Thanks for your assistance!

@aculber1165vuw You need to obtain your packing materials needed for shipping. Keep a record of the packing materials cost so you can write it off on your taxes.

Then when creating a listing you will need to add the packing costs and whatever charge you want for your time to the item price.

You can also add a handling fee instead if you use Calculated shipping and list on a computer using Seller Hub. Be sure to enter the correct dimensions and weight when you create the listing. Round up to the next full inch and the next full ounce.

To access Seller Hub:

1. Go to https://www.ebay.com/sh/landing

2. Click Start Using Seller Hub

3. To create a new listing click on the blue create listing button on the upper right of the Overview page.
