Why should I offer Free Shipping?
Try a key business growth strategy. Buyers are becoming used to Free Shipping offers in the general e-Commerce market. See if Free Shipping boosts your sales and learn which pricing makes it work for you. We'll give you a Final Value Fee discount for 10 days to help.


There aren't many sites I've purchased from online, including Amazon.com, that I haven't had to pay a shipping charge for items I've purchased. Actually, I usually expect to pay shipping. Only the ignorant don't realize that free shipping means the cost of shipping is going to be factored into the final selling price.

So, what does ebaY stand to gain by sellers offering free shipping? I'm bewildered. If anyone has any insight, please share it with us.
