<p>[QUOTE="drg642, post: 1108, member: 74"]I have started to use free shipping on large heavy items because I don't want to get dinged for shipping, and also because I don't have to know exact dimensions or weight until the item actually sells. I build in estimated shipping cost to my price or opening bid, and I have actually sold quite a few items this way, and I haven't had any complaints. These items are usually fairly expensive with a good profit margin, so if I'm off on the amount I've estimated for shipping by $5-10 it's still ok with me. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will also add that if people are unhappy with the shipping price and they can't ding that star, they'll just ding whatever star is available to them, which is gong to be item description, and this is the one that can hurt you the most.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
