Thanks for the info. I was not aware that I could indicate multiple services. That’s a big help and I will do so from now on.
No prob! You'll just have to be careful to check which option the buyer chose at check out - so if they select USPS, use that service even if UPS is cheaper and vice versa. Sometimes buyers select a service based on carrier, not price.
I often have issues with FedEx in my area, so if I saw USPS or UPS at a slightly higher rate, I might choose one of those services instead and if FedEx is all that was available or it was significantly cheaper, I'd prob go to my online FedEx account and request they hold the package at their local facility where I could go and pick it up.
For many buyers the carrier won't matter, but for some it will so keep that in mind.
If you offer two different methods from the same carrier (ground and priority from USPS), make sure you don't downgrade just because it's cheaper. Per eBay policy you can upgrade the service (use priority when buyer paid for ground) but you can't downgrade (use ground when buyer paid for priority). If it's a truly significant cost savings you can ask the buyer if downgrading is OK provided you refund them the difference, but otherwise, ship using the service they chose or better.
You may know this stuff already, but since you're new to offering multiple services on the same listing I figured it was worth mentioning @parkercreektrading.
