Shipping FAQ
How do I as a seller check the shipping costs?
You will find our shipping costs in our Shipping calculator and on the create listing page. If you are selling a large item you might need to get a quote directly from the shipping vendor.
It is okay to add a cost for packing material if needed as long as the additional cost is resonable.
The seller wants to be paid more for the shipping than whats specified in the listing, is that ok?
The cost specified in the listing should apply unless both parties agree on changing the terms, this might be the case if the buyer want's the item to be sent to a vendor that isn't an option in the listing or if you agree to combined shipping for an additional item. In these cases you need to agree on a solution that works for both parties.

The item was lost or damaged in transit, who is responsible for reporting the issue to the shipping vendor?
This varies between vendors. We recommend checking the vendors page. It's usually the sellers responsibility since they are the one who purchased the service. In some cases (PostNord within Sweden) you can create a case directly from your sold items list at Tradera.
The buyer wants me to send the listing to another address, is that possible?
It is possible to book to another address but you will loose your seller protection. Our recommendation is that the buyer changes their address in their order before you book the shipping, that way you wont loose your seller protection.
Do you have any tips for packing the parcel?
The shipping vendors have tips and what to keep in mind on their web pages. You can also check our packing guide here
