How to Calculate Shipping on eBay
Four steps to an accurate shipping estimate before you list an item.
Weigh your packed item
Weigh the item inside its box or mailer with packing materials. A $15 kitchen scale is accurate enough for packages under 10 lbs.
Pick a shipping distance
USPS prices by zone (distance from you to the buyer). If you sell nationwide, Zone 5 is a realistic average for estimating.
Compare services
Ground Advantage is usually cheapest under 5 lbs. Flat rate boxes win for heavy, dense items. Priority Mail wins on speed.
Price your listing
Add your shipping estimate to your item cost before setting a price, or set calculated shipping so the buyer pays the exact rate.
