Did Ebay remove handling fee option?

[allthingsmoody]

Two or three months ago I created my first listing in over 10 years. Today I am working on my second, and everything looks totally different than what I remember from the prior one. One thing I can't find is somewhere to insert a handling fee. Did Ebay do away with that?

You can add a handling fee if you are using calculated shipping.

What is a handling fee anyway? A fee a seller charges for them to do their job?

You honestly don't need a handling fee anymore. As long as you don't "share the discount" with your customers you end up with a large cushion on basically every single order. I often get paid twice what it costs me to ship the item.

The employees who ship the items aren't free, nor is the shipping material.   These costs must be recouped by a real business.

You can still set a Handling Fee & there are many uses for it.

I'm not seeing anywhere to add a handling fee on the listing form unless I'm looking in the wrong place

Hi @allthingsmoody . Not sure if you have to switch from the quick listing tool to the business listing tool all the way on the top right of the page or not.

But on the biz listing tool, this is how you find handling fee:

Well...I don't know how, but I stumbled on the box to insert the handling fee. I had saved the listing as a draft while I was getting answers to a few questions and just now when I opened the draft it was there lol. I swear I didn't see it before even though I looked multiple times. Oh well, all's well that ends well. Thanks everyone for your input.

Yes, and add eBay's fee on postage paid by buyer to that mix.

Sorry, I don't use eBay to list, so I wasn't sure exactly where on eBay's screen.  So glad @wastingtime101  was able to provide a screen shot 🙂

it's know under business tools -  somewhere in sell your item page

I found something saying switch to business tools and i clicked it

and now i able to set handling cost and change handling time to longer;

for me i pick 7 days.

You can charge ANY  handling fee you want on ANY listing.

Just add your fee to the item price -or- the shipping charge.

the cost of handling and most buyers add the cost of the shipping materials in the handling fee also. 

  the sellers job is to sell stuff and make a profit.  not ship things as cheap as possible for the buyer.

no way you get paid twice what t cost to ship.  the difference isn't even what you pay for shipping labels.  

  On my main seller account I have sold over 50 thousand items.  Unless you are altering your shipping size nd weight at the time your making the label your not getting any where near double.
