Fixed Price Shipping through the Rate Table
Summary: The discussion is about implementing fixed price shipping through the rate table. However, there is no substantive content provided by either capesummer11 or ryry-jj, as both posts simply state 'None.' Therefore, no specific details or outcomes are available from this thread.
Im concerned about the USPS ground advantage consolidated weight pricing increases coming in July. I currently charge shipping (flat rate to any postal zone). I’m thinking of setting up Fixed-Price shipping in eBay’s Rate Table (so that the shipping price fluctuates and is transparent to the buyer based on their location). Do any of you currently use this type shipping option and if so what are your thoughts and advice particularly about how it may affect conversion. I’m not considering offering free shipping and baking the postage into my price so please no suggestions on doing that.

·4 months agowhy not just change everything to calculated postage right now? Especially if you have concerns about shipping costs and the continued increases. Shipping costs are not stable and with fixed cost you will be monitoring and adjusting monthly, if not more.
In the past I've used the rate table for fixed cost to different areas, but stopped and went calculated for all. You have the potential to lose too much if you think the average fixed costs will cover shipping expenses. Personally, I used the rate table to make certain regions not as desirable to ship to
