Shipping rate
Hi,
I used to be able to set a flate rate for shipping fee for the buyer to pay but now i see a shipping policy and it says calculated. How do i change that and go back to be able to set a flate rate

If that is not the problem please let us know what listing tool you are using. APP or computer.

I agree with @disneyshopper that calculated shipping is the better option especially since the USPS started charging the 1lb rate for all packages under 1LB going to a rural zip code. This means it cost as much as $8 to ship a 4oz package.

Mentor1 month agoI think most buyers prefer calculated shipping. With a flat rate, buyers living close to you will be paying more than buyers who live further away, and you might not be charging enough. Also, the USPS is charging more for buyers living in rural areas, so you might be underpaying if the buyer is located in a rural area.
