    You are one of the few that live in a sweet (shipping) spot >> Being in the center of the Country you have no Zone 8's to the lower 48

    So it would make sense for shipping even using USPS to Exclude Hawaii, Alaska and the Territories

    If using FedEx or UPS there is a Place to add a surcharge for shipping to Hawaii & Alaska

    i usually just contact the buyer and see if theyre willing to pay the overage if there is one, had a couple transactions go south but it is what it is, its not exactly easy to add a shipping surcharge to 600 items
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    WHY Not, Use the Bulk edit feature and change them all at once

    You can do any of the following >>


    After you choice >> Shipping (Domestic)
    The following box pops up and I have highlighted where you put a check mark for adding the surcharge


    Then you enter the amount >> I always use $25.00
    and hit the blue button on the bottom >> Save and close


    All the listings are updated at once
    OK, Little white lie >> I think you can only do about 200 at a time
    So you would have to do the process 3 times to cover the 600 listings
    Total time start to finish estimated at 10 - 15 mins

    Otherwise you risk that guy in PR winning and when you say >> Sorry, Shipping cost more to you << Buyer leaves you a Neg

    because theres so many different sizes and weights of items, the bulk edit feature wouldn't work, i have used that tool in the past to change stuff like return policies

    i dont care about bad feedback, it means nothing against the volume of transactions i run, i could get 50 a year and still stay over 98% positive

    there are top rated sellers with 10,000+ negs, feedback is a volume game, thats all it is
