It would be a big help if Sales Manager Pro allowed one to enter the info in each listing for Ebay's shipping calculator. It is a pain in the rear to have to edit each auction after uploading to add it in.
Some of us sell a variety of different items, so we need to have the functionbility of a shipping calculator such as eBay's, with different weights for each listing, and the ability to add a hidden handling charge to the actual shipping. The buyer simply puts in their zipcode and gets a quote for S&H.

We are looking into implementing this or an alternative to this in the near future, however. In the meantime, there are shipping rate calculators available online that can be inserted into your listings by copy/pasting some HTML into your default text or item description. You may be able to find one of these in a Google search.
I appreciate your help. There once were good free shipping calculators online. However, the free one I was using (that allowed me to add a handling charge) ceased to work properly once the newest postal rates went into effect. Searches on the internet using various engines have yielded only free calculators that will not allow the addition of a handling charge such as eBay's does and those earlier freebies did.
With profits eroding for many sellers due to fee increases, paying for a shipping calculator from a separate vendor is not a likely option, although there are some available such as AuctionInc offers. They are your competitor for picture hosting and after-sale management, but don't offer listing services as far as I can tell. Most sellers want everything in one place.
I want to have access to all the features that Ebay offers to sellers and this is an important one. Having to manually edit postings after launch, or use someone else's product makes using Vendio much less convenient that it has to be.
Please add this feature, we'd really appreciate it!
Unfortunately we do not have an ETA as to when this might be available. Please continue to check the announcements forum as we post all releases and updates there. I will forward all feedback to Product Development regarding shipping calculators.
