on EBAY do i have to pay ebay for shipping costs?

[curtisports2]

If you don't even know that you don't pay eBay anything except fees associated with selling, you shouldn't be on eBay. eBay offers the opportunity to print shipping labels from home because it's far more convenient than going to the post office, and it's often (not always) cheaper. The rates are set by the carrier you decide to use, not by eBay.

You can, of course, ship things any way you like. One other thing. If you stated that shipping was free, you have to pay for the shipping. If you stated that the buyer pays the shipping, you still pay. The buyer pays you enough to cover it. If you say one thing and it ends up costing more, you eat it, you can't go back to the buyer and ask for more.

Better know and understand all of this before you do any more selling or you won't last long as an eBay seller.
