Topic: New Item Entry
What shipping options do I have available?
When you click on the "Ship" checkbox on the new item form, you are indicating to a seller that you are willing to ship that item to anywhere in the US (and only the US) for the flat rate specified.
But I want to design a pricing scheme that is convoluted and incomprehensible! Why aren't there more options?
Oh, it's you. The experienced, professional seller. We knew you would come around eventually. Welcome to Bonanzle! We're really glad you came.
Anyway, shipping: what separates Bonanzle from eBay is that we heart simplicity. This is why you can't set decimal prices on your items, and this is why we are only offering a single, gloriously simple price for shipping your item.
Believe it or not, most buyers like these things to stay simple, especially when they're proposing multiple multi-item deals to you. If you're worried about that jerk in Guatemala that is going to swoop down and clean out your booth, set the shipping price on the high side and get a little richer when non-Guatemalans buy from you.
You can also always arrange with buyers to ship for a lesser price on an individual basis, when they propose to buy your stuff.
