NEW! Say goodbye to negative Feedback due to customs
We've taken steps to help protect sellers who ship globally from negative or neutral Feedback due to customs delays or customs fees. We'll now remove negative or neutral Feedback (http://mail.ebay.com/op/c/157e8d71eefII1cac56II705492II158127d5cf3) as long as your listing includes a clear message to buyers (http://mail.ebay.com/op/c/15806f71caaII1cac56II705492II158127d5cf3) and the negative and neutral clearly calls out customs was the reason for the Feedback.
Important: make sure your listings are up to date
For Books, Music, DVDs & Movies and Video Games listings: Remove any references from your item descriptions to shipping charges that exceed the maximums. Listings in violation are now being taken down. I still ain't figure out how they think they know what the exceed would be?
Make sure your shipping charges reflect the new carrier rates: by January 5 for UPS and by January 18 for USPS. Anyone going to change their shipping rates?
Remove any references to checks and money orders from your listing descriptions. Starting January 15 these listings will be taken down. I'm working on this now!
If you are shipping globally, add customs "disclaimer" text to your description to help protect your Feedback. I guess since I list that I will ship overseas I'm going to have to put a "disclaimer" in my listings!! Just more work for nothing!!
A return policy and handling time mustbe specified in your listings by mid-March. I already have a handling time listed but I have never posted a return policy, are we going to HAVE to list a policy even if we want to now?
Save time by making any needed updates to your listings at once. See the Seller Checklist (http://mail.ebay.com/op/c/15806f71cabII1cac56II705492II158127d5cf3) for details and options for bulk editing.
January rate changes announced by USPS (http://mail.ebay.com/op/c/15806f71cacII1cac56II705492II158127d5cf3)® and UPS (http://mail.ebay.com/op/c/15806f71cadII1cac56II705492II158127d5cf3)®
We update the rates in the shipping calculator at midnight on the day the changes take affect-January 5 for UPS, January 18 for USPS.
Good news: USPS® is introducing a new, smaller Priority Mail flat-rate box for the same rate as a flat-rate envelope. The new box will be available in listing flows starting in late January.
They really are pushing that FREE SHIPPING ain't they!!! ;)
