Offering a Gift-Wrapping Option

[gemdandydaughter]

Hello!

 I do not have an eBay Store yet. I just have an account to buy and sell. Before I purchase a Store, I'm wondering if you know if it is possible to add a gift-wrapping option to listings in a Store?  (I have not found how to do this in a regular buy/sell account.) 

Thank you for your help!

You can create a listing for buyers to purchase gift wrapping - you do not need a store to do that. You can put a link to the gift wrap item in each of your item listings where you would offer the option.

There is no other way to offer it - a store does not add any function for this.

With 360 active items, you should have a basic store subscription - you are paying insertion fees on 100+ items - $35+. A basic store on a month to month basis costs $28, plus you pay a lower final value fee on most items, and you get $25 per quarter towards shipping supplies.

Thank you for your advice! I'm leaning hard toward getting the basic store. Also, I cannot see how to make the gift-wrapping listing without one of us paying postage. Even if I make all the dimensions and weight be zero, it is still charging for shipping. 🤔 Any thoughts or advice on this? 

Thank you!!

You can offer free shipping on the gift wrap listing. How to offer free shipping depends on which form you use to create your listing.

On one form, after entering the weight and dimensions, then picking a service, you will see a box to check that says offer free shipping.  On the other form, you see the suggested service, then on the right you see ‘buyer pays’ or ‘you pay’ - just pick ‘you pay’. 🙂
