Why can't I set MY own shipping price on MY own listings?

[epsilon_publishing]

Ebay locks in a $4 price on my items because of something called a "shipping policy."

I don't want nor do I need a "shipping policy". However, once it's born it's like a concrete demon from hell to get rid of. 

Now I'm supposed to send a 20 pound box for $4 shipping?  

IT will not allow editing

IT will not allow changing the shipping price for a particular listing.

IT will not allow deleting

How about giving the seller some control over his own listings? 

This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo frustrating 

 I just want to list an item and put an asking price and  shipping price. That's ALL I want! Is that too much to ask? Instead of spending half an hour vainly trying to adjust the shipping price for ONE ITEM!!!!!

Has ebay hidden the phone numbers for help, or is that dead, too?

I selected the "solution", why this continues is yet another Wokebay glitch. Ask them.

Gee, maybe you should try not setting the antagonistic tone.
Did you know that hostility to others usually gets hostility back atcha? DUH!

In order to get to Ebay's little, tiny "opt-out" button, one has to intuit...

1. Use ESP to cognite that this problem was caused by a 3rd-party vendor like Printify who did not reveal this information to you.

2. End the listing unsatisfactorily (there's no way to back out gracefully). The shipping box will not let out of the box, unless you reload the page, or whatever.

3. Back up 2 pages,

4. Go to your Store (what if you don't have a store? Or, what if you don't have a desktop computer - the interface is radically different on a phone). 

5. Guess which of the many pages is the correct next step. Like walking down a trail and coming to an 11-way fork. 

6. Use a microscope to locate the tiny , unexplained "opt-out" button.

7. Use your clairvoyant skills to know THIS "opt out" button actually means opt out of Business policies, not something else like Shippping policies, or opt out of your store.

Why this continues?

Do you mean it continues to happen?

or

Do you mean that this thread continues after you chose a "solution"?

If why thread continues, that's how it is unless you use the dropdown arrow to contact the "mods" to lock the thread.

---------------------------

you figured it out on your own.

So, you solved the issue before reading post #2 that suggested that you could turn off (opt out of) business policies.

I know.  Sometimes it is difficult to see how something might not sit well with others.  Your statement assuming "This is like two ladies arguing over whether Talbots has more street cred than Chicos.", is misogynistic.

I read that as presenting an example pulled from the sky rather than a "hatred of women" misogynistic post. YMAV

The op selected his own post as best answer.

Why am I not surprised?    LOL

[simply-the-best-for-you]

I'm a woman & I don't see it as misogynistic & I vote for Chico's all the way 🤣  Talbots is way too buttoned up & conservative for me.

The fact that you used "two women," and not "two men" in your example, makes you, according to Woke-folk, a sexist. The woke-propriate wording would have been "two old, rich, hetero white Republican males."    

Oh, forgot "Russian". How frightened of reality is WokeBay they censor my Valdimir Putin hat?

Nope, not it.

Selecting a solution is just that.  But it doesn't close the thread.

Good grief, some people really need a dictionary.

I still don’t get why it is misogynistic.  Is merely including the word “women” somehow offensive?  If so, that’s as crazy as an adult female trying to find a dress at DXL.
