Shipping Cost incorrect? Help please

[jnixon6488]

Hi,

I'm a new seller and haven't come across this potential issue before. When I just went to list an item, it said shipping was like $68- $150.   I know that can't be correct. The item price is $40 and I don't ship outside the US.

I tried changing it, but I have no idea what the cost would be for this item. I saw what some others charged for shipping on the same item, I'm just afraid of being wrong.  Anyways I listed it, and viewed the listing and now the shipping says $61 I think.  I still think that's wrong  , I don't know what to do. 

Thanks

I can't even guess at accurate ship costs here because your listing gives zero clue as to the size of that item. Is it 5" or 15" or 35"?

Regardless, shipping is based on a few factors - in the case of that framed piece it's based on package weight and dimensions + ship to location.

If you're seeing an inflated rate, then you are probably incurring surcharges due to size.

What are the package weight and dimensions you're using on that listing @jnixon6488 ?

The item selling price has no bearing on the shipping cost but get the drift of what you are saying, $5 item with $XXX shipping. You could have a very lite or low cost item but large item that because of size could have a huge shipping cost.
