Resolved! Calculating postage for "free shipping"

OK, ebay likes you to use free shipping when selling. What is an easy way to figure what postage will cost before knowing where it is going so the seller's costs are covered?

conflicting messages from eBay

A few weeks ago I got a message from ebay telling me to offer free shipping as more buyers are asking for it. I changed some of my listings to free shipping. This past Saturday I got another message from eBay telling me that I should offer express sh...

Buyers need to read auctions!

vintage/antique sellers--do you enjoy sourcing items to sell?

To the vintage/antique sellers do you enjoy hunting for items to sell more than actually selling them? I love the thrill of the hunt. I work 50-55 hrs. a week at a "regular job" that requires me to get up at about 4am Mon-Fri but I still can't wait f...

How would I report a pocket-size power bank that is clearly fraudulent?

There are many power banks on sale on Ebay that are listed as 300,000mah (300 amps!) or more, which industry simply does not make in that size. There must be thousands of items like this on ebay. The size is far too small to be 300ah. Would I list it...

Nonpaying buyer and some strange behavior

Just venting here. I'm sure nonpaying buyers are pretty common to most of you. I've been on EB since 2001, but have sold very few things. I was lucky enough to deal with good people for the few items that I did sell. Anyway, I accepted an offer for a...
