Why we usually do not offer free shipping

Published Date

Free shipping may be offered on high value items that are light. In most cases we will not offer free shipping because we just end up forced into rolling the shipping cost into the sale price and eBay gets a bigger cut of the pie. If the item is worth a good deal of money, we may offer free shipping as a bidding incentive.

For instance, we have a light item worth $20.00. Usually shipping on a light item is rounded to about $5.00 and added to the cost of an item with free shipping, so we now have a $25.00 item. eBay pockets about $0.20 for the $5.00 that was counted as a sale price and not a shipping price by its accounting system.

For the prices we charge, usually a light item is about $4.85 on the eBay shipping calulator fo your cost for the item would be about $24.85. eBay does not get a cut of the money you paid for shipping.

We believe that in many instances the real winner for the free shipping options is eBay and not the buyer or seller.

To reuse is to use an item more than once. This includes conventional reuse where the item is used again for the same function, and new-life reuse where it is used for a different function. In contrast, recycling is the breaking down of the used item into raw materials which are used to make new items. By taking useful products and exchanging them, without reprocessing, reuse help save time, money, energy, and resources. In broader economic terms, reuse offers quality products to people and organizations with limited means, while generating jobs and business activity that contribute to the economy.
