eBay Shipping Price Templates

Overview

Shipping Price Templates in Sellercloud are company-level shipping cost rules that you can apply to your eBay listings. With these templates, you can set different conditions such as destination, item weight, and shipping service which allow you to standardize product fulfillment and further simplify your workflow.

If you use Shipping Rate Tables, enabled through the eBay Attribute Defaults page in your company settings, we will ignore any shipping price template configuration.

2. Select one or more existing templates to clone.
3. In the eBay Shipping Price Template panel, click on the three dots icon at the top right and select Clone. This will create a new template called *Template Name* – Cloned.

Configure Template

Follow the steps below to configure the shipping rules of a template:

1. Navigate to Settings > Manage Companies > Open a Company > Toolbox > eBay Settings > Shipping Price Template.
2. Click the Pencil icon in the eBay Shipping Price Template panel to open a template. 
3. On the Edit Shipping Price Template page, select Flat Rate: Same for All Buyers or Calculated Rate: Cost Varies by Buyer Location in the Domestic Shipping panel. 
   1. eBay lets you set flat rate shipping prices or calculated shipping rates based on the weight and dimensions of a product. We can automatically pull the product shipping weight and add it to the shipping price details.
4. Select a domestic shipping service. You can choose between specific services like UPS Ground or general ones like Economy Shipping. If you choose the calculated rate option, you will only be able to select a specific carrier service.
5. Enter the following values after each service you select:
   1. Cost – Shipping Cost;
   2. Handling – The cost of handling;
   3. Additional Item Cost – Shipping cost for each additional item shipped.
6. Repeat the same steps for international shipping.
7. Enter the case information including Package Type, Weight, and Dimensions in the Package Details panel.
8. Select regions in the Additional Ship To Locations – Buyers Contact For Costs panel where customers have to contact a local customs office for additional costs such as duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees which are not part of the shipping cost.
9. Select Ship To Locations that you want to include or exclude. This option is most commonly used to prevent fraud cases.
