Free Shipping Option Not There

[01duchess0]

I have tried to figure this out all day.......why would my Free Shipping option not show up to be chosen under “Domestic Shipping”?  I have he options under Shipment Type of:  Flat: same cost to all buyers, Calculated:Cost varies by buyer location and No shipping: Local pickup only.  There isnt an option for “Free Shipping”.  What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

There are several versions of the listing form. Try this: choose flat or calculated, and then the checkbox for Free shipping will probably show up next to it.

It didn’t work. I just tried it again.   I even rebooted my computer and everything. It is nowhere to be found.

On the advanced form you are not seeing this box to check mark for free shipping?
Is this the form you are seeing ?
I wouldn't think you use the quick form with your selling history but I have that screen shot also if you want to see it.

no hes right...they moved around the order and ways to apply free shipping on the phone app its not there at all you have to choose a service to have free shipping into like priority so they can still tie you to the expected time for delivery...which is fine but the real reason is cause the frown on free shipping cause they cant add final value fees to it. the vultures are circling people.... The 20% or more they get out of u per sale is not enough. When u include that ebay owns pay pal and there double dipping on every sale.. it makes u a little sick.,

On mobile, you need to tap the "Users Pay $X.XX" and change it to free shipping 😉

eBay and PayPal have been separate companies since 2015 (4 Years ago this month).  You pay eBay for the service of showing your items to the world. You pay PayPal for the service of processing your payment.

There's no "double dipping" and it is nowhere near 20%

FVF is 10% in most categories. FVF is charged on the total amount of the sale

PayPal is 2.9%+0.30 on the total amount of the sale.

$25 Item + $Free  Shipping = $25 Total --- $2.50 FVF / $1.03 PayPal

$20 Item + $5 Shipping  = $25 Total --- $2.50 FVF / $1.03 PayPal

$15 Item + $10 Shipping = $25 Total --- $2.50 FVF / $1.03 PayPal

$10 Item + $15 Shipping = $25 Total --- $2.50 FVF / $1.03 PayPal

$5 Item + $20 Shipping = $25 Total --- $2.50 FVF  / $1.03 PayPal

That +.30 matters alot when u sell low cost items like baseball cards it maybe 1/3 the total cost of the sale. the fact we have to use paypal sucks. Ive been trying to get on the new payment plan using there new system but ive been declined despite having 100% feedback and selling 3000 items a year for 3 years+.

I would take a very close look at the managed payments rates … if you think you are going to be saving money, you are in for a surprise. Especially look at the "per listing" transaction fee (not per order, per listing)
