I have been thinking of converting my listings all to free shipping. when my wife and I shop the internet we always seek free shipping first. but don't know if that is a game killer for others.I sell mainly collectibles. and when I look at other sellers I find many do not offer free shipping and they all seem to have decent sales. but others who offer free shipping also have decent sales.does anything know if free shipping will give a boost in sales?also, the biggest question about converting to free shipping is: how do you keep up with changes made to elements of you price when those things increase in cost ?usps is always increasing rates. how do you keep up with that and adjust your sale price if you offer free shipping.also another example is silver prices. silver has increased in price recently. if you are selling items which have a major silver component ie silver coins, silver jewelry, silver ware, silver dinnerware. how do you keep up with the price increase if you offer free shipping?it seems like you have to continually monitor your prices if you offer free shipping?
