Handling time

[liltreese]

How do I set handling time?

[mtgraves7984]

Choose how many days it'll take you to ship the item out... just like you've done with your listings. Easy-peasy.

Where do I go to set the handling time?

[santamonicajeweler]

There are few different ways to do it. Here is the link

@santamonicajeweler 

^^^ That's actually a link regarding shipping options.

@liltreese 

On the listing form, there's a field for 'Handling Time' under the Shipping Details section. Do you not see it in your listings?

[liltreese]

I thought there was a place to set it so that each listing automatically displayed the set handling time, it seems like you used to be able to do that.   I see it in the listing.

Are you asking how to get your handling time to appear on the listing for the buyer to see @liltreese?

Sometimes eBay shows it on the shipping tab, but most of the time they don't.

If a seller uses an extended handling time then there will be an orange flag next to the estimated delivery date.

If you want to guarantee that buyers have the ability to see your handling time then you'd have to put it in your listing description. That doesn't mean buyers will read it, though.

@liltreese 

Ah!!! No, the 'Handling Time' is no longer shown on the live listing. When users press the 'Shipping and Handling' tab, they see the 'Estimated Delivery Date'. If they push the hot button, they see that the EDD is a combination of the seller's Handling Time, Shipping Services and Cleared Payment. Hope this helps!

Sometimes they do @mtgraves7984, but most of the time they don't. Here's a screenshot I took about 30 seconds ago from a live listing.

Wow. Proof that I do learn something every day. Thanks!

[santamonicajeweler]

Yep, @mtgraves7984 You scroll down to Setting your delivery options using the new setting tools

1. Select Edit all options beside Delivery.
2. Select Package details to add package weight and dimensions or select I don't know package details.
3. Select Shipping policy then select an existing policy or Create shipping policy.
4. Select Ship in US and/or Ship International and/or Offer local pickup.
5. Provide your Package details, Shipping Service, Shipping cost and any other necessary information.
6. Select Done.

It's new,

it's the third option

@santamonicajeweler 

Thanks, but none of that even mentions 'Handling Time', which the OP asks about. Click it yourself... you'll see.

@mtgraves7984 

Read it one more time, you'll figure it out. Let me know if you need more help

My response was to the issue I thought @liltreese was having with the Listing form, and I didn't want to confuse the OP.

Since @wastingtime101 has satisfied the OP's issue, I guess we can take time for a hijack. Please do tell me where "You scroll down to Setting your delivery options using the new setting tools" specifically addresses Handling Time... I don't see it. 🤔

[santamonicajeweler]

I don't see a need to prove anything. If you do @mtgraves7984 , so be it!
