The other scenario where package sizes may be important are for Priority Mail Cubic packages, which eBay does not offer. Entering a package size woudl be a waste of time. Yet eBay displays the correct amount for shipping because it is correctly assuming that the package is not above a cubic foot. It was uploaded to eBay with no package size entered because I know its not going to be more than a cubic foot. In the screenshots below is a six pound package in which I offer USPS Retail Ground and USPS Priority Mail. The only other time I send invoices is for combined items and entering the package size in GS for each item is not going to solve anything for that scenario since that is a unknown piece of data until I visual see what items are to be combined in order to give an accurate estimate. It wouldn’t make sense to enter the package sizes for 400 recently listed items so I could possibly save myself from manually entering the package size for one nonpaying bidder invoice.

One of forty-four items that recently sold was a nonpaying bidder whom I was required to send a manual invoice to in order to obtain a refund of the FVF fees. Zones 5 to 8 will be charged for its dimensional rate of 25 pounds ((26 x 26 x 6) / 166 = 24.43) - essentially a penalty for taking up so much on the various forms of transport used by USPS and its contractors. Packages larger than a cubic foot sent to zones 5 and above may incur a rate equal to their actual weight or their dimensional rate thus we need the estimated size of their package.įor example a item I estimated will require a 26 x 26 x 6 box weighing 16 pounds will charged USPS’s rate for 16 pounds to zones 1 to 4.

You can find the full post on the eBay Announcement board.If you are shipping via USPS to domestic addresses there is no reason to enter the package size if its under a cubic foot.ĩ9.99% of my items are uploaded to eBay with no package size at all since I know when the item is ultimately packaged it will not be larger than a cubic foot. However, it recently “ paused” those late-delivery protections citing consistent improvements in on-time shipments for USPS and all carriers and writing, “late deliveries have returned to pre-COVID-19 levels as carrier performance improves.” Our extended estimates should give you enough buffer, and additional handling days could lead to the appearance of your items shipping slower than they actually are.”ĮBay also recommended sellers communicate with buyers, keeping in contact with buyers throughout the shipping process.ĮBay also referred to its seller protections in the guide (“eBay announced seller protections against shipping defects and we will continue to review these protections as long as strains on carriers affect delivery dates”). One piece of advice eBay offered in the guide was not to extend handling time: “We are automatically extending estimated delivery dates as necessary to give buyers a more reasonable expectation of when their items will arrive.
