I need help with Delivery

I want to make some posters what are made to order however im using a site to do the printing for me.

 

It cost £3 to make the poster however £4.99 for delivery so £7.99 total

 

So i want this site to deliver to the person So i don't have to create a postage label.

 

The problem i have is that when i create a listing it says choose delivery however im deliving using the site so what shall i do?

 

Do i put free postage however say in the listing that £4.99 is for delivery?

Do i select a delivery service and put it as the same price as the website?

Do i put free collection?

You can specify £7.99 with free shipping. But if you accept returns you will need to add a restocking fee so you can recover the shipping cost if the buyer returns the poster. 

 

Or you can specify £4 shipping. But either way you will need to specify who the carrier is.

So you are essentially drop shipping.  That can cause you problems that could negatively impact your selling privileges.  If they sent the items to the wrong address, that goes against you.  If they run out of stock, that goes against you.

Send the wrong thing or damaged item, again, all against you.

 

You can't say free postage and list a price for delivery.

You would not want to say free collection.

You would need to choose the same way that the company that is sending these out for you would choose.  You may or may not want to use their cost as the postage.

 

With all due respect, OP, from your questions, it sounds like you are very new to selling, and I would encourage you to read the Boards and the Help Pages to get an idea of all you need to know to sell.  Good Luck.

http://pixel2print.co.uk/ is the site im using and im pretty sure they wont run out of stock. And just from quick reaserch it didnt seem that bad. The only thing i am worried about is the Ebay fees getting held for 21 days however im pretty sure ebay fees take from pending balances anyways

eBay fees are not taken from pending balances. You have to pay your fees whether your funds are pending or not, the fees will come from your reimbursement method and if your funds are pending then your credit card or bank account will be charged.  If you upload tracking your funds will be released within 3 days of the item being delivered.

As long as you list digital items in the Ebay classifieds, you are ok.
