Always tell your customers the shipping charges in your item description. Because customers lives in different areas of the country, you should be prepared to charge them the maximum amount for shipping that could possibly be needed to send the item anywhere in the lower 48 states. For example, if you live in Boston, and the cost for shipping your item from Boston to Los Angeles is $8, then set the shipping charges at $8. Your customers will probably end up overpaying a little bit on shipping, but you really need to give the shipping charges up front. This is because many dishonest sellers make money on shipping, they sell items for very low prices but then charge the customer $40+ for shipping, sometimes not even revealing this in their item descriptions, sometimes hiding it in tiny print near the bottom. These sellers often end up with a lot of negative feedback. Keep your shipping charges reasonable, and state them up front at a fixed price. Also, be sure to package your item carefully, many sellers have received negative feedback because their item was damaged during shipping. Bubble wrap can be bought in bulk for low prices on eBay, it’s a good idea to buy a roll or two.
