It’s easy to use Bikeflights to ship items you sell on eBay. Here’s how:

1. Build confidence with your potential buyers by clearly stating in your item listing that you plan to ship through Bikeflights.

2. Decide what packaging you’ll use to ship your listed item so you’ll know the dimensions and weight needed to get shipping rates.

3. Visit Bikeflights to estimate your item’s shipping cost for your buyer’s potential locations. We recommend searching for rates to deliver to your furthest away potential buyers, so you’ll know the maximum possible cost of shipping your item. 

4. Choose one of two approaches for shipping sold items domestically:

• Offer “free shipping”. This means you will not charge the buyer any additional amount beyond the item’s sale price for shipping the item from you to them. If you choose this approach, we recommend that you build the cost of shipping your item into your list price. 
• Offer “flat rate” shipping for a fixed amount that the “buyer pays” above and beyond your item’s sale price for shipping the item from you to them, no matter where they are located. 
• Pro Tip: Always clearly communicate in your listing about whether your free shipping or flat rate shipping offer does or does not include shipping to Alaska or Hawaii. Shipping costs to both states are generally higher than within the Lower 48 states. You may want to specify whether you’ll ship to those locations if the buyer pays the additional shipping expense associated with their location in either state. Here’s an example: 

5. After your item sells, return to Bikeflights to book your shipment. Upon checkout, note of the tracking number provided on the order confirmation page, or access it later in “Your Orders” within your account. 

6. In eBay, upload the tracking number to your order. 

7. Drop off your item at a carrier location, or await pickup (if you scheduled one).

8. Sit back, relax, and let our team of experts take care of monitoring delivery to your buyer.

Whether you are charging for shipping or offering free shipping for the items you sell on eBay, Bikeflights is the best way to ship, guaranteed.

Note: The above instructions are for shipping domestically on eBay. Be sure to also separately edit your international shipping preferences within eBay to indicate whether and, if yes, how you will ship to international buyers.
