NOTE that not all sellers offer shipping - so do not assume shipping is available, and review before you bid.
Look for the Shipping badge on the auction. It means shipping is available for at least some items.
Tap Shippable to filter the auction for shippable items, then open an item to review its shipping details and terms. Shipping options and costs can vary by item, so check the listing before you bid. Sellers might choose to ship within the country or within the Province/State.
When placing a bid, you can select Shipping or Pickup.
If you choose Shipping, you’ll be prompted to enter your address.
Depending on the seller’s setup, the shipping cost may be charged to the credit card on file when you select shipping, or the seller may send you an invoice to review and confirm. The item’s listing will provide the applicable details (click on shipping before you bid to review the seller's terms).
Remember that everything is as-is - so you agree to the terms when asking the seller to be shipped out.
How sellers enable shipping
To offer shipping for an auction:
1. Turn on shipping in Auction Settings and add your shipping terms.
2. Go to Pickup and Shipping and mark the individual items that can be shipped.
Be clear about where you ship, how packing and delivery are handled, and any costs or handling fees.
Buyers can then see which items are shippable and review the terms before bidding.
Sellers can handle shipping in different ways.
Some bring an item to a local shipping store and have the buyer open an account with the store and arrange packing and shipping.
The Downsizing Doula's policy: "My shipping policy is this: if it's small enough for me to carry to Mail Plus, I'll do that and ship from there. You will pay me for the shipping costs and $25 for my time via Zelle."
House 'n Order's policy: "Shipping is available in Canada only for small, non-fragile items only (like jewelry, spoons, etc). Most items will ship for about $35.00."
Grand Auctions' policy: "$25 shipping/insurance/tracking fee applies ONCE for unlimited items shipped."
Others pack and ship the item themselves, charging the buyer the shipping cost at cost, and some may add a nominal handling fee - all these would be outlined by the seller; if in doubt ask the seller first before bidding.
Whichever method you use, explain it in the item’s shipping terms so buyers know what to expect.
