I am considering offering free shipping with 3 or more won auctions.

Anyone have luck with this method? I have tons of stuff I need to move.

I've tried it and it didn't seem to make any difference.

I tried everything, including standing on my head. Thats why Im like this all the time. Nothing worked. Except I got more goofy from all the blood rushing up there and clogging whats left of my brain.

I gave up. Now, its just flat out "you pay what it costs to get it from me to you".

I think it does.

I had one auction for $9.95 with $4.95 Priority mail s/h.

I listed the same auction with free s/h and It sold at buy it now for $12.95.

I think people do look at the shipping cost.If it is free, they like it more.

I tried it and it didn't seem to make a difference - I went back to not offering it and my bids are up again...

I've never been able to figure this stuff out....

Tried free priority shipping for 1 month with same results as before. Never again.

It only works on the complete morons.
Anyone with an ounce of brains knows that nothing in life is free.

As a buyer, I doubt if I would go for it. With my luck I would win the item I really wanted, win a second item that I wasn't really interested in, and then get sniped on the last item and end up paying shipping anyway.
I would be more likely to try for it, however, if the items were BIN.

Just my humble 2 cents.
