You can pick which delivery methods you want to offer your buyers when creating your listing. Depending on whether you're using our quick listing tool or the advanced listing tool, you'll do this in slightly different ways:

Setting your delivery options using the quick listing tool

Setting your postage options using the advanced listing tool

You can also choose to set buyer requirements to exclude buyers who have a delivery address in countries you don't want to post to, or have a history of unpaid items. See Setting buyer requirements for more information.

If business policy management is available to you, you can opt in to set up business policies on payment, postage, and returns to apply to all your listings.

Tip
Before setting your postage options for an item, have a look to see what options other sellers are offering so your rates are competitive.

Setting your delivery options using a postage rate table

Postage rate tables allow you to assign postage rates to domestic and international locations.

When you set up a postage rate table, buyers will see the postage cost you specify for their delivery address.

There are 3 ways you can specify postage costs in your postage tables:

By item
By weight
By surcharge

To set up postage rate tables:

Go to My eBay and select the Account - opens in new window or tab tab.
Select Site Preferences and then Postage preferences.
Select Edit next to Use postage rate tables.
Select Item, Weight or Surcharge from the menu.
Select your regions/countries and enter your postage rates and then Apply.

You can create up to 40 postage rate tables.

Apply the postage rate table to a listing

Postage rate tables only work with listings that use flat-rate postage. You cannot use postage rate tables with calculated postage or freight.

To add a postage rate table when creating your listing simply scroll down to Delivery Details and tick the box beside Use my rate tables.

Tip
You can also add postage rate tables to multiple active listings in My eBay > Selling - opens in new window or tab.
