How to accurately calculate shipping of an item with 6 boxes weighing 21 pounds each

Hi,

This is the first time I am listing an item with 6 boxes weighing 21 lbs each. They will contain about $2,000 + of sheet music. Can anyone suggest the best way to enter that into eBay's shipping calculator? Entering the weight is obvious but should the dinensions of all the boxes be added up and entered together or is there a way to enter the dimensions of each box and thern multiply by 6? Thanks in advance.

Ted

I did not know that.  Does make it a no-brainer, one flat price for all Buyers, or roll it into the selling price and do Free Shipping.

International---GSP with free shipping to the center in KY.  Buyer pay PB, and GSP for any additional shipping/duty/customs.

Shipping 126 lbs internationally?  Be sure to at least price the GSP for that weight of goods.

AFAIK GSP won't accept multiple shipments (boxes) for one transaction.

 ....  There is a little discount when you purchase your labels (through eBay/PayPal) online.  For Media Mail, it would be about 80 cents per box....

There is no eBay postage discount for Media Mail.  It will cost the same whether shipped through eBay, PayPal or over-the-counter at the PO.

 

Good point about the maximum of 5 labels per transaction.  You can print extra label(s) through PayPal at
