****Update: Changes to Marketplace Account Settings and eBay ClickLaunch Pages****
*****Released this afternoon*****

These changes are now available for your eBay auctions, accessible from your eBay Marketplace Account setup page and ClickLaunch:

    * Option to indicate "Will not ship - Local pickup only
    * Ability to determine a Carrier/Method for Domestic shipping along with Insurance availability
    * Support for eBay Regions based upon Postal/Zip Code (used in eBay Region searches)

Soon you will be able to choose a default shipping service (carrier and method) to be pushed to your eBay ads. Do this on the Marketplace Account Settings page for eBay and optionally on eBay ClickLaunch. You will be able to choose a shipping carrier, method and insurance availability. This will be your default for domestic shipping rates based upon the fixed amount stored in the Inventory Item and pushed to eBay during launch. Only one default carrier and method is available as an account default, however you may override these settings via ClickLaunch/Single Launch of an item. The fixed shipping amount plus any handling fee will be used in the auction (insurance will also be pulled from the item if available/applicable).

Note that you must have eBay Checkout Details enabled for these values to be utilized. Also note that your actual Shipping Profile will be used to calculate the shipping amount once your buyer enters the Marketworks provided shopping cart in your StoreFront. You should use the same carrier/method as your Shipping Profile (saved in your StoreFront/Clickout) to ensure that your buyers have a consistent buying experience.
