Because we know that many buyers don't like to click into a listing only to find that the shipping costs are too high, we'll soon show the shipping costs for each listing automatically on all search results and listings pages (you currently have to choose to have these displayed). This should save buyers time by helping them get a more accurate idea of the price of a listing before clicking into it. If you would prefer not to see the shipping costs on these pages, you can opt-out by using the Customize Display link near the top of the search results and listings pages.

Just as it works today, if you as a seller enter in a flat-rate shipping amount for your listing through an eBay listing tool, the amount will be displayed in this shipping column. If you use the eBay Shipping Calculator, a “Calculate” link will be displayed. And if you offer more than one shipping option, the first one you listed will be displayed.

Please note that at first, these shipping costs will only be displayed to U.S. buyers. Later this fall we will launch a second phase of this project that will display international shipping costs to international buyers.

Sincerely,

Leigh Goldstein,
Senior Manager, Shipping Product Marketing
