Shipping a large item

@lolag1   

I would not ship an item that large because if the buyer SAYS it's not as described you have to pay return shipping and then issue a refund.

 

It would have to ship by freight shipping. 

 

I do not recommend freight shipping. I suggest you use Local Pick Up

 

Put a note in the description that the buyer can arrange freight pick up.

When the buyer arranges freight shipping you are not responsible if the item is lost or damaged in shipping.

 

Selling with local pick up:

Say Local Pick Up in the title. Scan the QR code or enter the 6 digit code into the app when the buyer picks up the item so you have proof of delivery.

 

 

EDIT TO ADD: 

I see you have starting prices of  .99 cents on your auctions.  I hope you know that means that you agree to sell for whatever price the buyer wins the item for, so you might only get .99 cents.

 

I suggest you revise your auctions before you get any bids, once you have a bid on the auction you will not be able to revise it:
