Using eBay app & postage

We're looking for insight or tips n tricks for using the shipping options. 

 

Read a few Articles eBay references use this 'type' for packages -small, medium, large or envelope etc. Pretty straight forward; however, the eBay app options are not as straight forward to match it up. The costs to the seller even more crazy. 

 

If you're not using priority and it's a 4x6 bubble mailer best option for seller to use? Appreciate all feedback from the sellers perspective!

Using eBay app & postage

Hi @kst2019 

 

Your reference to small, medium, large, or envelope sounds like you're referring Priority Flat Rate. You can only use flat rate packaging with flat rate mailing rates and vice versa. Everything is goes by package dimensions and rounded-up weight.

 

For a lower-cost alternative to Priority weight-based or Flat Rate shipping, use Ground Advantage. All ground advantage pricing is based on weight and package size. Enter the weight and package size in the listing form when you list your item and those values will default to the shipping label. When you purchase your shipping label, you can edit the weight and package size if needed.

 

Editing to add: Just noticed you were referring to the app. I can't imagine doing anything sales-related using the app (except maybe checking messages when I'm out). I always use the website on my computer. The app may have fewer options.

 

If another mentor doesn't pop in to provide more information, you can try posting on the Mobile App board under Buyer & Selling.
