I don’t want buyers choosing shipping methods How to I set that as a preference

[mirror-in-the-attic]

I want to choose it when I create the listing.

Also, help me interpret this label?

Is it UPS or USPS?

I am confused.

Thanks

On every listing you create, you specify which shipping options you'll allow.  It's one of the last parts of the listing form.  Buyers can only choose whatever you put on the listing.

That's a UPS label, but UPS SurePost is handed off to the USPS for some parts of the process, which is why it also says USPS Parcel Select.

UPS Surepost is a combination service: It starts out with UPS, then is handed off to USPS for the "last mile" for delivery.

As noted in the other post, when you set up a listing, you choose which shipping option(s) to offer to the buyer.  The buyer cannot choose a shipping method which you did not offer in the listing.

I only enter one method on my listings.  I can upgrade if I choose within the service I offer.

If I were to purchase a usps ground select advantage at the post office am I able to upload tracking and can I cancel the label I already purchased through EBay?

iI am questioning if, in error, it was me who errantly selected ups surepost when I printed the label.

The shipping amount is nearly identical and ground advantage is faster.

Is cancelling the purchased label and uploading tracking outside of an eBay shipping label purchase an option?

thanks

Yes, that should be fine.  You can void the label you purchased through eBay if you don't use it (I think, I've only ever done it for USPS labels) on your Shipping Labels page: https://www.ebay.com/ship/labels/seller-hub

Just an opinion on your shipping charges listed.

It looks like some of your shipping charges are low. IMHO. I would raise them by either adding a handling fee to cover boxes, packing supplies or a flat rate shipping charge.

Is that because there are some areas where UPS does not deliver?  That has been my experience.  

[brightlightbookseller]

I'm not sure if it's that or just an attempt to save money.

This may help.  I'm a very visual learner.

The three vertical dots are where you set your listing shipping setting.

The Shipping options I circled on the upper right, likely won't affect you, but good for you to know they are there.

I got my 1st surepost/UPS/USPS label the other day, freaked me out lol. My best guess was it would be handed off to USPS, when I dropped it off, UPS verified that to me. Whew lol

The "See Shipping Options" has disappeared from my screen when creating a new listing.  What am I doing wrong?
