Postage Setup

Overview

Postage Setup lets sellers configure how shipping costs are calculated and which locations they ship to. Access it at Selling → Seller Tools → Postage Setup.

Free Postage

Offer Free Postage — check this to offer free postage on qualifying invoices
If amount exceeds — set the minimum invoice total required to qualify for free postage. Leave at zero to offer free postage on all orders

Postage Calculation Type

Choose how postage costs are calculated for your sold items:

Item Based — postage costs are entered individually for each listing
Flat Rates — a single rate is applied to the first item in an invoice, with a separate rate for additional items. The same rates apply to all postage locations you have set up
Shipping Carriers — buyers receive automatic quotes from enabled shipping carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx, Australia Post)

Flat Rates

When Flat Rates is selected as the calculation type, two additional fields appear:

First Item — the postage cost for the first item in an invoice
Additional Items — the postage cost for each subsequent item in the same invoice

Shipping Carriers

When Shipping Carriers is selected as the calculation type, a carrier selection panel appears:

USPS — United States Postal Service
UPS — United Parcel Service
FedEx — FedEx shipping rates
Australia Post — Australia Post shipping rates

Check the carriers you want to enable. Buyers will see real-time quotes from all selected carriers at checkout.

Shipping carrier integrations must be configured by the site admin before they appear as options here. If no carriers are listed, contact the site administrator.

Dimensions UOM

inches — use imperial measurements for item dimensions

This setting determines the unit of measurement used when entering dimensions for your listings.

Shipping Locations

Worldwide — ship to all countries. The same rates apply to all locations

Location Groups

When Custom is selected as the shipping location, the Location Groups panel appears. Each group can contain one or more countries, and when item-based shipping is used, each group will have its own shipping rates.

Choose Location(s) — select one or more countries to include in the group
Add — create a new location group
Delete — remove an existing group
