Setting up your shipping options

1. On the listing page, scroll down to the Shipping section.
2. Choose whether you want to:
   • Ship your item: You select a fixed cost, or we calculate the cost for you based on package weight and dimensions. You can pay the shipping cost yourself
   • Offer local pickup: Buyers pick up the item from your home or another site of your choosing
   • Offer both options

If you choose to ship your item:

1. In Ship your item, enter a fixed cost or the package weight and dimensions so we can calculate the cost.
2. If you're not happy with the recommended shipping service, select Change shipping service to choose another option.
3. Select the calculated rate, or select the option to charge a fixed amount, then enter the amount. You can also choose to offer free shipping and pay it yourself.

If you offer local pickup, enter the ZIP code for your item location.

1. On the listing page, scroll down to the Shipping section.
2. From the Shipping method dropdown, select one of the following options:
   • Standard shipping: Small to medium items
   • Freight: Oversized items
   • Local pickup only: Sell to buyers near you
3. If you choose Standard shipping, open the Cost type dropdown under Domestic shipping, and select either
   • Flat rate: Same cost regardless of buyer location
   • Calculated: Cost varies based on buyer location 

If you choose Flat rate:

2. Enter your shipping costs under Buyer pays, or select Offer Free shipping under Primary Service.

If you're eligible for eBay International Shipping, it will become your default international shipping option. We'll automatically add eBay International Shipping to your current listings and manage all overseas shipping, customs and returns.

If you would like to manage international shipping yourself, select See shipping options at the top of the Shipping section, turn on Other shipping services then select Add other shipping services. From the See Shipping options menu you can also turn on and off the following:

• Autofill shipping details (Allow Package weight/dimensions and carrier to be autofilled based on similar or matching listings)
• Irregular package (Pack your items in non-rectangular boxes as needed. Additional shipping charges may apply)
• Local pickup (If the item you're selling is large or difficult to ship, the buyer can collect it in person)
• Handling cost (Add an additional charge to cover packing and materials)
• Excluded locations (Set specific locations that you don't want to ship to)

Unless you're a business seller, you'll see simplified shipping options when you're creating a listing on the eBay app.

1. Select Shipping only or Local pickup as the delivery method.
2. Select the size of your package.
3. Based on the package size you've selected, we'll show you a list of delivery services, including a recommended service. If you change the package size, the list of delivery options will be updated again. Select View all shipping services to see more options.
4. In the 'Who pays?' section, adjust the toggle to either Buyer pays (the buyer will pay for shipping at checkout) or Seller pays (you'll pay for the delivery cost and offer free shipping to your buyers).
5. If you'd like to make your items available to buyers worldwide, adjust the toggle next to International shipping. You'll then see the same options as above, except the services are international.
6. Select Continue to finish creating your listing.

If you prefer to see more detailed delivery options, you can still choose from the full list of shipping options when you create a listing on the desktop version of the site.
