I love the comments! A couple of quick tips from viewers to improve upon the shipping in this video. First, it wouldn't have taken much to put the artwork in a plastic bag inside the box and seal it to make it waterproof. That's a great idea. Second, if I had gone back into the orders and combined shipping instead of adding the tracking number, I could have increased the insurance if I wanted to.

I have sooooo much artwork. I source it all at extremely low cost. This Home Depot box is worth it to get those listed and shipped out. I can’t believe how easy and how much sense it makes to tape them together. Great tip!

Hi Scott - Sometimes ebay won’t let you upload a “used” tracking number for a combined shipping order as USPS tracking depends on one unique tracking number per item. They’ve got a “combine these orders” option in the Bulk Label printing flow you might want to check out. It’s described step by step in the November 1, 2022 Ebay for Business podcast (episode 215) in the “questions from sellers” block after the interview - the hosts were actually responding to my emailed question about this very thing.

@@TheChaChingKing I contacted ebay about it because ebay rejected the duplicate tracking number on a recent order when I tried to upload it. With all the different servers fielding seller inputs and ebay’s poor engineering version control on their coding it’s like a roulette game sometimes to anticipate the responses sellers might get from the ebay brain for what seem like simple or repetitive tasks.

I didn't know about that awesome box. Definitely worth it on a sale like that. BTW. When you have multiple orders to same customer, you check both items for the shipping label. You'll see a message about combining the shipment. This will auto insert tracking for both, and you can increase insurance amount to cover both. Great video!

I ship art as well. I usually wrap in butcher paper from Sam’s Club and then place in a large plastic bag and tape so it’s waterproof. I add the bubble wrap. I also fill the box so the art will not shift within the box. I would recommend using eBay to combine your shipping for the two items that way you can insure both of them. You can still enter the same box dimensions and weight for tapping the two boxes together. I would take it one step further and place the two boxes in a larger box. $475 a piece is a great selling price it would be a shame if the art was to separate from each other in shipping and become damaged. I just learned yesterday in order to be able to combine the items in the global shipping program the buyer must purchase both at the same time. This becomes real problematic when accepting offers. If enough sellers encourage eBay to give sellers a third way to sell: Auctions; Buy It Now; or Seller Invoice then when Buyers make an offer on multiple items we as sellers could have the option to accept those offers by sending an invoice. What do you think? Maybe if enough sellers request the ability to send an invoice to a potential buyer we will get this feature. It might result in some non-paying buyers but I think if a buyer is in lots of communication with a seller they are most likely sincere in wanting to purchase. Thanks so much for all you do, your a wealth of wisdom 🙏🏼☺️

Hi Scott, I read one of your replies here about your having had some difficulty establishing shipping costs when listing large and/or heavy items. Maybe what I do might help. When I do photos I note the item's overall dimensions and weight. To estimate shipping dimensions I add a bit (up to three inches (depending on item fragility and my box's rigidity) to each (length, width, height) and at least one pound to the "naked" item weight, filling these details into the listing form using calculated shipping for my choice of delivery service. This shows me what shipping will cost and lets me play with dimensions to see where break points are. I can leave the listing at calculated shipping or use the $ figure to inform free shipping and pricing. Has worked very well for me. Patricia

Does ebay charge fees based on estimated shipping costs or the shipping cost listed ? For example if the listing has free shipping will the fees apply only to the final sold price?

Have a question 🤔 shipping cost freak me out. First Class and priority shipping is a no Brainer. I'm reluctant to sale heavy items because of lack of knowledge on how much to charge. Next question, if a customer wants to purchase multiple items and save on shipping, how does this work.
@TheChaChingKing
Жыл бұрын
Let me tackle the second question first. The easiest way to combine shipping is for them to not pay immediately. Then, you sent them an invoice with the adjusted shipping costs. If they've already paid, I do what I did in this video. Copy the tracking to the second item and refund any difference. As far as large items, it is tough for me, too. Like these paintings. I knew it would cost a bunch. But I wasn't sure how much. I thought they'd be around $50 each, and they were twice that much. BUT, I also knew they were worth enough that I didn't have to be exact. So, first, I only sell large items that have a great expected return. Second, I should have excluded Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico...etc. Third, make yourself a Pirate Ship account. You can play around with dimensions, weights, and destinations to see some potential costs.

You may be able to come up with a cheaper solution that protects just as well, but not one that is also as fast. You might be able to do something for half of this, or even free, if you can spend the time to do so. But, my time is way more valuable to me than the difference between a cheap solution and $20.
