My Listing Shows In-Store Shipping Rates, But I Want My LIsting To Display Ebay Shipping Rates

I am selling a Point Loma Lighthouse and there are others listed also.   I realized my shipping cost was around $6 higher than the others.  After doing scenarios on the Ebay Shipping Calculator, I realized my listing displayed rates  at the In-Store rate.  I tried to revise my listing, but could not find any option to change my displayed rate to reflect the Ebay Shipping Rate.  Since I will be printing the shipping label at home, I would like the customer to know the correct shipping cost before purchasing.  Thanks, for any help, you can provide!

I'm just going to point out that you do effectively pay the in-store rate. Ebay takes 10% of your shipping cost in fees, then gives it back to you via the shipping discount for printing from them. You don't actually pay less for shipping.

The option to choose between in-store vs eBay rates isn't in the listing itself, it's in your site preferences in Shipping, "Offer carrier specific discounts to buyers."

As noted in the other post, your shipping costs aren't just postage. Many sellers leave the shipping calculator set to show retail, then use the online savings a a built-in handing fee.

I went to:   https://www.ebay.com/ship/prf.    and this occurred.

 

Account

  Site Preferences

     Shipping Preferences

        Offer Carrier Specific Discounts To Buyers  (pressed Edit)

 

Selected 'Offer Ebay-Negotiated Discount Rates', but when I pressed SAVE, it deselected my choice and automatically switched me back to 'I Do Not Want To Offer Carrier-Specific Discounts'.  That was the only option I could select to exit from that screen.

 

I so appreciate you directing me to this Shipping Preferences screen, but is there an additional option I need to select also?

I'm just guessing here, but you probably can't change that if you have open auctions with bids and/or items with best offer that have calculated shipping.  That would be changing the conditions during an active listing (pending sale).  That's just a guess though.
