Can I offer free shipping on selected books, or is it all or nothing?

 

There are some books I could offer free shipping on, but others that I paid a higher price for.

Is it allowed to offer free shipping on some of my books, but not all books?

I cannot get an answer to this question.

You can offer free shipping or buyer paid shipping on individual listings. Each listing can have a different shipping method, free or paid.  On your listing page scroll down to Shipping. Select your shipping method, enter the package weight and size, select Flat rate or Calculated shipping cost, select the shipping service you want to use, below that you have the option to select "Offer Free Shipping", check the box next to it. See image below.

Also note that for most books, you can select USPS Media Mail as the shipping service. See this link for USPS Media Mail requirements: https://about.usps.com/notices/not121/not121.htm

It is per listing.  You decide what the shipping terms are for each listing as you create the listing.  You can have all kinds of rates and carriers as you need them for what you are selling.  Each listing can be different if you need them to be.

 

Just remember if you offer Free shipping to roll all the costs for the carrier and packaging supplies into the price of the item you are selling.

 

let me know if I can answer anything else for you.  Good luck and Happy Selling.
