rateTableBasis
The rate calculation type provides three methods of calculating the shipping cost based on the seller's selection/input:
  • ITEM: Specifies the flat rate shipping cost that buyers in the specified shipping region will pay. When this option is selected, information specified in the rate table overrides all shipping options/costs that are specified at the listing level. Buyers in the specified regions will only see the services provided in the rate table. Buyers in other regions that are not specified in the rate table will see the shipping services associated with the listing.
  • WEIGHT: Seller can provide minimum shipping cost and an additional shipping cost per pound. The additional cost will be calculated based on the weight the seller provide at the time of listing. Buyers will see the total shipping cost and won’t see these calculations. Buyers in the specified regions will only see the services provided in the rate table. Buyers in other regions that were not specified in the rate table, will see the shipping services associated with the listing.
  • SURCHARGE: Lists surcharges for buyers within specified regions, or indicates a flat amount added to the shipping cost specified within an item's listing. Buyers will see only the total shipping cost as well as shipping services associated with the item's listing. If a SURCHARGE is specified in the rate table for certain regions, buyers in those regions will see the (shipping cost + SURCHARGE) total.
