eBay sellers, how much do you spend on shipping?

[James_OldeTowne]

I have a credit card dedicated strictly to USPS charges. Last year, I spent $1621.44 on shipping coins to customers! Probably 95% of that was from eBay sales. Any idea how much you've spent?

Not one dime ! All my sales have a set shipping charge that the buyer must pay. The buyer pays all shipping and insurance costs. Actual costs are pre-determined prior to listing the item. So as not to under or over charge for the shipping.

I'll clarify this for you,While shipping charges are included in the winning bid for James' auctions(AKA postpaid),he meant how much do you spend on shipping,which the buyer does pay for

As for me,I've just started selling on eBay,so get back to me in 11 months and I'll give you a quote

No idea, but I usually pay for shipping using my PayPal credit card so I could look it up. Of course that wouldn't account for all the stuff I ship from work.

 

I'd guesstimate around $1000 a year just for eBay auctions.

I'll bet I spent around $1000 in shipping this last year. 99.5% was eBay-related. Woops! I take that back - a few percent was related to RETURNING MINT PRODUCTS! More often than not, I lose a little on shipping, but I try to match closely the overall expense with my shipping charges.

 

I also try to charge all of my shipping to Greg's PayPal CC.

You do know that when returning products to the mint, they will send you a postage-paid return label.

This goes to show my level of intelligence. Now, where'd I put your credit card?

I'm actually amazed at the total each year.
