Shipping options
Summary: tinamarie encountered a $2 shipping fee issue on eBay while using the 'sell one like this' feature but managed to resolve it by removing an unwanted option. Other participants, including dhbookds, luckythewinner, and monica-sells, offered advice on checking for carried-over options and suggested using listing templates. chapeau-noir emphasized the benefits of having templates to avoid hidden features. In the end, tinamarie confirmed that the issue was not an extra fee but a misunderstanding with listing settings.

·1 week agoUsing "sell one like this" has its pitfalls. I see that you sell a variety of items, but I'd still suggest setting up templates for your most used markets - that way you can set things up the way you like and there are no hidden features.

·1 week agoThere is something wrong with that $12 vs $40 as Fedex/UPS is NOT that much cheaper.
Plus, you get the added fun of having Fedex/UPS come back taking more $$ from you later.

OP1 week agoI think that I used the sell one like this and it had that fee on it and I worked for an hour and finally got it off by deleting the option that I do not use (must be theirs) and put in one of mine. I can't list right now, but will later and see if it happens again.

·1 week agoWhen you use "sell on like this", there can be options "carried over" from the listing you are copying. ebay did not put anything there that wasn't there to begin with. You need to check all those little "edit" pencils to see some of the "hidden" options the previous listing may have incorporated.

·1 week agoCan you give us a screen shot of this $2 fee that eBay tacked on? I am having a hard time visualizing where you see it what eBay calls it.

OP1 week agoI think I figured it out. I did a "sell one like this" and I usually do not see anything like that to add $2 per shipment. I had to go in and redo part of it and finally got it off. Thanks for your feedback.
