Low Sales

Question

Does anyone besides me believe shipping cost play a major role in low sales on eBay?

They are fixing to rates again. It’s getting that the sellers can’t make money.

I know I have quit ordering because of the high cost

thanks

I do feel the USPS sometimes ties my hands. I list with free shipping, so backing out the shipping cost and fees gives me the total for my item. Some items aren't worth it, with the lightest 4 ounce package costing more than $5. I feel you and agree. @grannysangels

Hi @grannysangels

Of course, but it has nothing to do with eBay. eBay doesn't set shipping rates, the carriers do.

When a buyer considers making a purchase, he evaluates the total price he will have to pay to determine whether to buy - no matter where he buys it.
