We’ve had great success with our free shipping business model on Amazon and have therefore decided to adopt a similar model for eBay, at least in the short term. Beginning on February 21st, 2021, all of our eBay listings now offer free domestic shipping. Thus far we’ve only adjusted the prices on a handful of lower-priced items to at least partially cover the cost of shipping around the nation. Frankly, there’s probably enough margin in some of the higher-priced items to cover the cost of ground shipping so its the lower priced items that we need to watch carefully and, in some instances, may need to adjust their prices since the dollar margin isn’t all that great.
We will soon be offering FedEx for both domestic as well as international shipments likely beginning in early March, so please don’t be a bit surprised if your next shipment is brought to you by the folks “that positively have to get it to you” by any and all means necessary. Again, we’ll be keeping a careful eye on this facet of our operation, particularly for larger packages that need to travel across several shipping zones.
