Shipping help

[soviet_surplus]

Let’s say I’m selling hats and a person buys five hats how do I charge more for shipping five hats because currently whenever somebody buys five my items it’s only charge them shipping for one item for example today i sold item andthe shipping is only five dollars. it’s going to cost over $50 in shipping because he bought over 10 of those items

Add a shipping charge for each additional item when you are setting up the listing.

When setting a Multi-Quantity listing, and using a fixed rate for shipping, you have the option to add a cost for each additional purchase.

Is this for the surge protectors? Have you checked into the Large Flat Rate Game Box?   It's about 24" x 12" x 3"

How do I get to that page? I can’t see those choices

Make sure you are using the Advance Listing form.  When you create a listing there's an option to switch to the advance form, click that and you'll have far more control over the content of your listing.

My Issue is I’m not seeing this option at all. I can’t find this button

These power strips? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tripp-Lite-6-Outlet-Surge-Protector-Power-Strip-6ft-Cord-Industrial-Metal/2... No way it would cost anywhere near $50 to ship a box of 10 of them.

If this happened today, I would contact ebay because the shipping amount charged wasn't enough. From what I can tell when customers buy multiples from my listing, eBay's system tries to auto calculate shipping based on the weight I set up for 1 item. For example, if your listing says shipping one hat weighs 5 oz and someone buys two hats from the listing, eBay's system is set up to calculate shipping of 2 hats as a 10 oz package. This is almost always too much money, because it is factoring in the actual packaging material multiple times. I simply refund buyers the difference.  

If you aren't doing shipping by weight and size, then I'm not sure how the system calculates shipping on a purchase of more than 1.

The OP has that listing set at $4.99 for the first item + $4.50 for each additional = $45.49

But I believe using priority by weight/zone would be much cheaper.  Not sure if any of the priority flat rate boxes would accommodate 10 of those.

There is no "button".  It sounds like you are using the Quick Listing Tool.  You need to switch to the Advance listing form which has more choices.

There is a big difference between hats and power strips. Power strips you can just use any box, if you can't use a USPS Priority box whatever fits will work. Hats would (if not just trucker hats) need a hat box and would most likely have to be shipped individually.
