Shipping Issues for Online Auction Sellers
Home Based Business Opportunities:
Since the changes made by the Post Office earlier this year in parcel and package postage costs, a lot of confusion has come up among sellers. It’s a now-known fact that by posting shipping fees (especially reasonable fees) on your auction listing, you’ll raise your number of bids dramatically. Some sellers use their shipping fees as a “fill-in” to boost profits. While this seems sly to some, many bidders consider this to be dishonest and many is the seller who finds him or herself confronted with neutral or negative feedback because of this practice.The costs of shipping are a very important part of any online business - especially selling at online auction. Many sellers who were die-hard users of the U.S. Post Office’s Priority Mail have switched to standard parcel post. After all, the USPS no longer guarantees delivery times on Priority packages and they are generally arriving in about the same time a parcel package would anyway.
