That listing is live and has bids.
It is for 4 tires, but you have set it up to provide a shipping quote for only 1 tire. There is no way to fix that for multiple reasons: the first being that the listing has bids on it, and second there is no way to set up calculated shipping in an eBay listing for a multiple package shipment (which you can't do unless you were to ship all 4 tires in one bundle which can't be done except via freight)
This is going to be a train wreck. You were warned in the first 6 posts here to modify or take the listing down in the 6 hours before that first bid was placed.
Shipping shows as $68.45 for UPS to me here in Sacramento, CA for all 4 tires. If I were to bid and win, it would cost you 4 x $68.45 = $273.80 to ship them here (assuming that shipping amount doesn't include handling fees and is close to actual UPS label cost - not knowing actual weight and dimensions of the tires impossible to be precise) while I would pay only $68.45
Under those same assumptions, if an East coast buyer (New York) wins, shipping will be $123.62 x 4 = $494.48, but buyer will pay only $123.62 for shipping.
Walkthrough on a FedEx Estimate for 1 tire:
------------------------------------------------
Looks like a tire like that weighs approx 50lb and is 32x11 (or 32x32x11 as shipped).
Dimensional weight = 32x32x11/166 = 68lb so actual weight is disregarded (use of the 166 Dimensional weight divisor assumes the label is printed through eBay - other wise a 139 divisor is used and dim weight = 32x32x11/139 = 82lb)
Will incur a $12 Additional Handling surcharge for failing Addl Handling criterion #2 (and maybe 4,5,6, and/or 😎
Base rate for 68lb to Sacramento CA (95825) from AZ (85349) is $38.85
Add $3.60 for Residential Delivery surcharge and $2.12 for Fuel Surcharge + the $12 Addl Handling and it looks like $56.58
That is an undiscounted online rate. eBay discounts run around 25% in that range so %56.58 x.75 = $42.44
Let's see what the eBay calculator comes up with..... $41.63 (matches fairly closely to the manual estimate above). But that is for each tire.
Best shipping scenario would be for you to have your own FedEx account, have it linked to your eBay account (to get the eBay discounts applied to your FedEx account, and print labels from your account at FedEx.com. That is preferable to printing through eBay because you would be able to get a multi package discount for printing labels for 4 individual tires as a single shipment (don't know the amounts - it is an on-the-fly calculation as far as I know.) But that probably isn't going to happen.
Next best option would be to use FedEx through eBay instead of UPS, to have the amounts be around $42/tire (to here), or $66.49 per tire to an East Coast (New York) auction winner (that is zone 8 and worst case except for possible delivery area surcharges)
That is pretty much as good as it gets.
You could add FedEx as a shipping option at this point (I think, in spite of active bids), but it won't help that much even though it is a bit cheaper than UPS. If there weren't already any bids, you could change to flat rate shipping and split the difference between near and far (you lose some on East Coast winner but come out ahead on a winner close to you), but that doesn't work out well for the buyers or you when shipping amounts are this high.
Unless you want to lose up to about $200 on shipping, you might want to cancel the bids on the auction (for reason of error in the listing), end the auction, and regroup and figure out how to handle this shipping problem (problem being that there is no way to have calculated shipping for the 4 packages involved).
A problem with that is I believe you will have to pay a final value fee on the highest bid at the time of cancellation (current bid is $255, so 10% FVF would be $25.50). Used to be that you got 1 free pass per year on that, but don't know if that is still true.
If you don't cancel, and refuse to send the tires after the auction ends, I believe you will still pay the FVF, and get an Out-Of-Stock defect on your seller account for cancellation.
Hopefully others will correct anything I may have erred on here.
