I have a different opinion on the free shipping though. Yes, eBay is offering certain perks for free shipping - free sub-title or what-not. However, for me personally, in order to give "free shipping" and still make the profit I am aiming for I would have to then up the cost of the product itself. Then my potential buyers may go the other way because the other seller has a lower price (with paid shipping). I find it best to at least charge something - and like you mentioned, I do note it on the packing slip sent to the buyer. I also include a separate note thanking the buyer for a purchase and explaining that my goal is to provide them with "5 star customer service" - hint, hint. - The Auction Woman That’s a great list of tips you posted!
