I personally sell more, faster, with free shipping, than without !
I guess I meant that is the average selling price is $5 and you do $10 w/ free shipping...then sure....but I use my average selling price as my "profit" meter so to speak. That is what I should receive AFTER shipping (whomever is paying for it...and I typically make a $1-2 on shipping as my "handling" charge) but before EBAY/PayPal fees. However you do it, the measuring stick is what I expect to get in the end.



I just want my profit to be at or above the average solds. If you can get away with free shipping by jacking up the price, then absolutely a good thing. I just find I make money off of shipping changes due to the difference in what is charged to the custom and the rate I get from Ebay (that is extra $$$ for me) and the handling charge I add in to pay for supplies.

Maybe that clarifies my position a bit better.
