You might think that free shipping would matter
to buyers but surprisingly it does not! Most bidders view shipping as a separate
expense. If you think people will bid more on your item because of free
shipping - you are wrong. You would do well to have an accurate shipping cost
and a reasonable asking price for your item. I have raised the asking price to
include the shipping in the product price and have had little success. Then I
changed these same auctions with shipping as a separate fee. Some people just
do not pay attention to shipping as long as the item price is good. The only
time I offer semi free shipping is when the item will cost $50 or more to ship.
I include $25 in the item price and only charge $25 as the shipping fee. This
seems to work better than a huge $50 shipping fee.
