I looked at one of my listings and went through like I was going to revise it
and didnt see anything about discount rate
could someone please tell me about this

·1 year agoThe question is whether you want to charge buyers retail rates or discounted rates. Keep in mind that you have access to discounted rates when you purchase labels on eBay regardless of how much you charge the buyer.
The setting to offer buyers discounted rates can be found on your shipping preferences page under the carrier specific discounts setting: https://www.ebay.com/ship/prf
Since eBay charges a fee on total cost buyer pays (item + ship + tax), by charging discounted rates you are losing money on every single package. If you want to make up for that you can add a handling fee or increase your item costs - or simply charge retail rates for a built in cushion instead of passing on the discounts.

You tick on the blue link that @wastingtime101 provided. It's very near the bottom... "Shipping discount settings".

OP1 year agoThanks I think I did this right
I clicked on the link which brought to a page I think it said selling preferences
I went down and there was I think it said no discount. I clicked on edit and now it says no discounts and my changes were saved
so now am I back to where I was before as far as shipping goes
thanks
