Freight and shipping fees
Shipping fees must be specified in the listing in the correct field. There are limits of how much you as a seller are allowed to charge in shipping fees.
Why do we have this rule?
This rule is for the transparency of the final price for the buyer. To have a reasonable and fixed shipping cost is a great way to increase the odds of getting your item sold. Sellers are allowed to add costs for shipping materials and handling within reason. Tradera won't regulate shipping costs, but we will investigate reports of misconduct.
