Creating promotional shipping rules
When you create a promotional shipping rule, you can offer buyers special discounts if they buy multiple items or spend a certain amount. You can also charge a maximum shipping amount for a single order.
Example 1: You can create a rule that gives buyers free shipping as long as they spend at least $25 and buy 2 items.
Example 2: You can specify that a buyer be charged no more than $5.00 for shipping if the buyer purchases more than one item from you.
Note: Promotional shipping rules apply to all listings that have combined shipping discounts (for both flat and calculated shipping costs). When buyers qualify for your promotional shipping rule, the promotion takes priority over existing flat and calculated shipping rules.
To create a promotional shipping rule:
1.Click My eBay at the top of most eBay pages. You may need to sign in.
2.Place your pointer over the Account tab and select Site Preferences.
3.Click the Show link to the right of the Shipping Preferences section.
4.Click the first Edit link.
5.Click the Edit link in the Promotional shipping rule section.
6.On the next page, choose the kind of promotional rule you want to create. You can:
Offer a discount for a multi-item purchase that totals a certain cost
Offer discounted or free shipping for buyers who purchase multiple items from you
Prevent shipping costs from exceeding a set amount for any order
7.Click the Next button.
8.Review your changes and click the Save button. The changes will be applied immediately to your current listings.
