Way to use calculated shipping for flat, lightweight items?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

I can mail 6 paper items that when combined weigh one ounce. I can mail these flat paper items for .49 in a small envelope. I can’t find a calculated shipping profile that would work. I don’t want to charge for shipping a first class mail package for $3.00 – People will buy more for a lower shipping rate. Ebay doesn’t have a good method for this either. Ecrater, however has an awesome set-up that works.

Use flat rate shipping not calculated shipping. Just add the amount in and you don’t have to pick a service. Or another option is to just add the shipping in the price and put in free shipping

Thanks for replying – I probably will have to use flat rate, but I would like to give the incentive to buy multiple items. I just can’t find a way to limit the number a buyer can purchase in one transaction. And I would love to use freebies too but not if I have to pay the extra shipping for them.

Hi [URL removed] I don’t use calculated shipping because I do a lot of papercrafting and other lightweight crafting. I add the shipping cost of my choice as flat rate. I also offer combined shipping for my shops by setting it in my Selling Dashboard, Booth Settings, Discounts & Coupons, Combined Shipping Discounts, Flat Rate Shipping.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks for your reply. I have been looking over the discounts and coupons idea. Nothing works perfectly though. I would love to be able to say I can ship six items for one shipping charge. In my FAQ, I have stated that and that I can adjust the invoice. Hopefully, I am able to do that. No sales yet.
