eBay Suspended & PayPal Limited Forums - Ebay Shipping Confusion

I'm confused on the price of shipping. I understand that we as seller can pay (which means free shipping for the buyer) I understand that I can charge the buyer a flat amount. (ebay kept giving me a red banner error for domestic shipping) what about the shipping method of letting the buyers location determine it. how does that work?

I selected that option and in automatically is charging the buyer like $18.68 for shipping even though I'm sure I wil have to pay closer to $60 to ship this item

You do get a discount using Fed Exp on Ebay,Fed Exp ground can be cheaper than USPS

I ended up revising the listing and charging a set amount for the shipping. it's an electronic item. nice size. I have the box it came in so I'll have that boxed up

Re: Ebay Shipping Confusion

if you deny cancel request,they will just file INAD and make you pay return shipping.
(Your actual shipping cost is probably too high for them )
