Randy Smythe on eBay's ***Offer Free Shipping and Get 15% off your Final Value Fees from May 23-June 1*** promo:

Quote:Before the promo you sold an item for $10 plus $2.95 for S&H. Your FVF was $0.88 cents

Since you still have to pay the same amount to ship the item, most of you will just roll the old S&H price into the sale price. You still charge the customer the exact same Total Price as before "Free Shipping"

    * So now, you sell your item for $12.95 with Free Shipping. Your new FVF is $1.13 or $0.25 more than before the promo.
    * But, since you are taking part in the Free Shipping Promo you get a 15% discount off your FVF which is $0.17.
    * So how did you do? Your FVF actually increased by $0.08 cents if you take part in the Promo.

Shh! I'd prefer my customers not be let in on that little secret.
