However, I have noted this only when using the three made up blank fields with the first as a $0.00 shipping amount. So if you type the three options out, and use free as the first one the other two will not show. Easy fix is to use the fixed price drop downs. I.e., Select say First Class Mail Fixed and enter $0.00 then select Priority Mail and use a price and finally Express Mail and select a price. That will result in all three prices showing and coming through to eBay. Where as if you just typed these options in Vendios three boxes eBay accepts only the first one and ignores the other two. The real question is why eBay is limiting sellers to three possible shipping methods per item when so many options are available to buyers and they should be able to pick the one that best suits their needs.

Since the orange button free shipping promotion on eBay I have attempted to make a list of shipping options with the one I will use free as a fixed $0 option at the head of my list I send out from Vendio. When I review the auction in eBay to click their silly little thing that puts the orange free ship symbot at the head of the auction, I need to make up new shipping options in the eBay interface. annoying.

I recently saw the new announcement that if you offer free shipping they will be giving you free subtitles, better placement, and double your power seller bonuses back. However, as usual they overlooked the simplest issue, how about a guaranteed 5 star rating for every item shipped free when the buyer leaves positive feedback? I mean for G-d sakes why the hell is a buyer rating shipping charges on an item I shipped to him for free and leaving less than 5 stars? Maybe the buyers think we should pay them to take the items so even though it was free shipping it still wasn't cheap enough.
