Who does free shipping vs calculated? how many will be changing?

I see it as handling, box, tape, time etc. Ebay constantly screwing over its sellers.

If you charge shipping you do not have to refund the shipping fee on returns, however with free shipping you have to refund it so it is not the same, you would lose the $9 on a return with free shipping.

I'm opting out of that. I bet most sellers that do calculated shipping will op out.

If eBay wants to do this they need to stop charging fees on shipping. I will opt out. Buyers calculated shipping is varied anyway since things are sent from all over the country. And I'm already competing with folks who offer free shipping and up charge the product. EBay needs to start respecting sellers or they will start to feel it.

In my opinion, everyone should opt out. They gave us commercial rates in order to cover our fees and basically, now they’re taking it away. Personally I will be opting out. Thankfully I don’t have a whole lot of competition when I sell.

I know I saw this crap today and immediately thought eBay finds yet another way to screw the sellers, way to go!

To me, that extra we sometimes made on the shipping offset the cost of packing/shipping materials. So yeah, it definitely screws us out of some money. It also helped cover the cost when the weigh was more than what my listing stated before packaged (accidentally underestimated). Ebay once again favors the buyers over the sellers, imagine that. I wish I could use flat rate shipping BUT living in Florida the shipping cost vary extremely depending on the location of the buyer.
This new change pushes me closer to thinking about WhatNot for most of my inventory. Thanks for the update, always appreciate your perspective! 😊

Free shipping is not always the same when you have larger items. Yes I can calculate it closely, but when things go to CA or WA they are always so much higher from FL.

Don't forget that eBay charges you an extra 10% of whatever your label costs as well. i.e. label costs $7, you pay an extra $0.70 in fees.

I find it weird when eBay already has the options to pass the saving to buyer, or not to pass it, etc.. Just them making stupid decisions and not fixing REAL issues.

I used to be all about the free shipping but recently changed to flat rates and I am SO much happier. I get much nicer offers from buyers now. They must not have noticed before that the shipping was free and sent stupid low offers.

So while Mercari takes away fees, eBay is giving away our small profits. Great job

Then they really should stop taking the 15% out of the shipping...If we make no money on the shipping, ebay should not be taking it out.

It’s easy to calculate shirts, but not so easy for vases, tools, etc.

From all of the comments in Facebook groups and else where, at least 98% of the sellers are opting out of this. Ebay is basically getting the middle finger from sellers on this. I opted out as well. Ebay seriously needs to get its act together.

You say it is the same thing, I've seen, just adding the shipping cost into the cost of the item. And normally, yes it is, but in practice, it isnt. Unfortunately if you offer free shipping, if you're running a coupon discount, you're getting extra taken away as the discount usually wouldn't touch the shipping. And if someone returns an item for a remorse reason, you no longer have the ability to just leave off the original shipping when you go to refund. You're forced to a full refund, or in some cases, have to take 50% and it not even cover it if the item was a cheap one/ blowout item. That is why I never offer free shipping. Not even counting the cost of supplies. This just plain hurts sellers.

Opted out! I don't see how its gonna negatively effect anything by opting put. The shipping is always gonna be different because i may be closer or farther from a buyer than say another seller so there shipping would be cheaper than mine anyways if they lived closer and vice versa. Thanks for always sharing these updates for people like me who don't pay attention lol

yea I dont get it, they are going to display the shipping that I am paying I guess, there's a whole lot more to shipping than just a shipping label, its boxes, tape, packing, that's where you break even when you get discounted shipping as a seller, if thats gone then that just makes it it like yea everything is free my time, my supplies, boxes, all that stuff is not free, they want to personally deliver things next? Ridiculous.
