My ebay id: ssphila
In Stamp Catogary : Free Shipping is non Practical Idea for Both Buyer & Seller.
Reason:
1. This Catogary had not Heavy Products where Shipping Charges is Very High.
2. Most of Sellers Chagers nearby Rs.50/- for Any no. of Purchase with Combine Invoice of ( Buy it now And Auction ). cause Buyers wants only Single Shipping charge for his multipal purchase.
3. In Stamp Catogary most of Listing are Priced between Rs. 50/- to Rs.300/-.
4. If you are implement this policy without geting view of All Power Seller of this Catogary. then Majority Business are fall down quickly. cause no one Buyres wants to buy multypal items with multipal Shipping Charges.
5. Many sellers had listed 1000++ Listing in with Good Till Cancle in Buy it now Option without Including Shipping Charges. Can Seller Close All this Listing Before Implement of this Policy ???? Are ebay wants to lost this Business ????
6. There is no this type of Forcefully Shipping Policy in Other ebay sites like ..... ebay.com .... ebay.co.uk
7. I request not to implement this change in 'Stamps' Category to avoid lot of inconvenience to both Buyers & Sellers. If you are planning to go ahead with the change, we have to stop listing under โStampsโ Categories in โFixed priceโ. Also wants to close all listing with Good Till Cancle.

The biggest problem lies with is that the seller includes nil as shipping cost for local courier while they include a heavy cost for the national courier. So in the search result buyer see that the shipping cost is free and product available at cheap rate but then they get to bear a heavy cost. This creates problem for the buyers.
The prominent solution is to include a flat rate courier which will be seen in search result. Then buyer wont be in any confusion and the rate will be justifyingly be visible to them for comparison.
Offering free shipping is totally vague idea. Where margin is low the shipping cost will increase the price way above. I want the customer to know that the product is of 70rs and you want shipment so I am collection 50rs more. I do not want customer to complain for overpricing. Shipping charge is actually convenience charge. Convenience Charge should never be made free. This will make all the low priced items to be held as overpriced.
Please relook into this vague concept.

Dear Sir,
I am selling Stamps etc.,
169977 | Stamps |
169978 | Indian Stamps |
70088 | Pre Independence (Pre 1947) |
169981 | Definitive Stamps |
169982 | Miniature Sheets |
169983 | Sheets / Sheetlets |
169984 | Year Book |
693 | Other Indian Stamps |
My product is such that buyers are provided with discounts in case of multiple purchases in the auction. If you introduce free shipping, we will have to load it to the product. There are about 70% of items wherein sellers of these items are getting less than what we pay to eBay as fees and hence we have to be exempted from this rule. You can yourself see the pricing of the items Face Value and offer price and calculate our profit margin after deducting your commission. Even then sales have dipped. We will not be able to sell any item in ebay if we were to add shipping in the offer price. This will result in eliminating the sellers of stamps etc. from your site. What you do with buyers only, by driving away the sellers. Stamps etc. mentioned above are different from most of the other products where offer price is more which can absorb cost of shipping and items more than one are not combined. If you still insist on taking away shipping charge, sellers of items under above category will not be able to sell any more. Please reconsider.

Dear Sir, In addition to my views expressed already on stamps, Please note that our profit margin is about 5% or even less on most of the items. Even then the sales are not encouraging. Sellers are also extending discount in shipments in case of multiple purchases. This move is not helpful for both buyers and sellers of Stamps.

Ebay team again rocking...
I m wait for this policy change from long time..Very Very Good Decision taken by ebay india bcos many sellers take profit this type of listing. He shows a product cost Rs. 30 and at a time of checkout buyer see +shipping Rs. 60 so final amount buyer see Rs. 90
This is a very good step taken.. Now look at single price
This move your sales boost and Both Buyers and Sellers happy..
