I am working on uploading a csv template for selling trading cards, but am having trouble finding an option to offer free shipping. Otherwise, my file uploads fine. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Find the three columns in the csv ShippingProfileName, ReturnProfileName, PaymentProfileName. These are the columns you will use to implement your polices. You will need to setup your policies on eBay first. Then insert the names of your polices (must be exact match) in the given fields above. Hope that helps.

As @thepokecentral recommends, use the three profile columns to state your business policy names.
Shipping profile name | Return profile name | Payment profile name |
If you are not using business policies, then fill out the columns that define shipping services (this is where the free shipping column would be added if you are using calculated shipping):
ShippingType | Shipping service 1 option | ShippingService-1:FreeShipping | Shipping service 1 cost | Shipping service 1 priority | Shipping service 2 option | Shipping service 2 cost | Shipping service 2 priority | Max dispatch time |
Flat | USPSParcel | 0 | 5 | 1 | USPSPriorityFlatRateEnvelope | 8 | 2 | 3 |
Calculated | US_eBayStandardEnvelope | 1 | 1 | USPSPriorityFlatRateEnvelope | 2 | 3 |
I've included one example of Flat rate and one example of Calculated and one example is free shipping turned on (1) and the other is off (0). Calculated shipping cost is left empty.
If using calculated shipping or international sales, you will also need to include package specs. This applies even if you are using business profiles. Package columns are:
PostalCode | WeightUnit | WeightMajor | WeightMinor | PackageLength | PackageWidth | PackageDepth | PackageType |
95051 | lb | 0 | 4 | 9 | 4 | 1 | PackageThickEnvelope |
95051 | lb | 0 | 2 | 9 | 4 | 0 | Letter |
PostalCode is used instead of Location
If you would like to schedule your listing to start later so that you can manually upload photos, add a ScheduleTime column with a UTC date code. If you actually care about the time of day, you will need to calculate your own time back to 24 hour UTC time.
