Free Shipping And Handling: An Edge On eBay With No Charge Handling or Shipping?

Will offering free shipping and handling give you an edge on eBay? We all know that eBay is THE most famous (and in my humble opinion, the best) home business today. But there's no doubt that it's a crowded field, so we're always looking for an edge, a way to stand out. And free shipping and handling definitely makes buyers happy.

Of course, the real question is: can you afford this generous freebie? There is no simple answer to that because everything depends on your profit margin and costs. For some products it may provide a much-needed sales boost, while for others it's impossible. Here is wise advice from a gent who knows the business in and out ...


People will see your proclamation of Freedom from the dreaded SHIPPING CHARGE (imagine agonized screaming here), and flock to your site to take advantage of THE INCREDIBLE SAVINGS! (Fanfare, people cheering).

Well, it’s true. In my experience, shoppers will check out an offer of free shipping before they commit to your competitor. Yahoo Shopping even lists Free Shipping sites as a category on their home page every once in a while, when they’re promoting their Shopping area. Do those sites get hits? You can bet they do. Are they doing better than you are? Probably not.

Internet Shoppers, as a rule, are not dumb. Although the Internet Shopper tends to be an instant-gratification junkie (like me), they will check around before pushing that all-important Order button. They’re going to go all the way through your order process, until they get the FINAL price. Then they’re going to cancel the order, and do some checking.

What are they going to check before they push your button? The same product on other sites.

Now, let’s assume that life is perfect, and you get the best possible wholesale price on the items you sell on your Online Store or Auctions. Naturally, life being perfect, the Shopper is going to be comparing prices on other Stores and Auctions that get the same great wholesale price that you do. What’s going to happen?

Remember, somebody’s got to pay for that shipping. Unless you are personally related to the Shipping Fairy, you’re going to have to deal with shipping charges in all their sneaky little forms. Ground shipping, air, motor freight. Residential delivery surcharge. Shipping insurance charge. Signature release charge. They get you coming and going. (Literally!).
