Where is"Shipping" Field  

This has probably been addressed before, but I can't find it.

Why is there no field for "Shipping" anymore? Where do we enter the shipping cost of an item? Do we have to go into SHIPPING OPTIONS now to enter shipping costs. This seems like an unnecessary extra step.

Re: Where is"Shipping" Field new [re: peg]  

HI

The shipping costs are recorded in the Shipping options.

There are several methods to address shipping.

The shipping options can be setup in the Auction profile so when auction lots are created for that profile the appropriate shipping is applied,

Shipping can be applied in the Grid view by highlighting records, right click and select Change shipping options for ......

The shipping can be defined for the item in Inventory items so when the auction lot is created everything is there.

Or on the Auction lot itself.

The Shipping options tab has always had to be used when configuring shipping because the method must be defined as well as the cost or weight.

Does that help?

That's some very good information, Judy, but all I want to do is put the shipping in the auction itself, and the latest version of AW2000 doesn't have a place to put it. Either that or I'm crazy :(

Here are the fields I see:
Listing Type
Quantity
Reserve
Quantity Sold
Total Fees
Starting Bid
Buy Price
Sale Price

Where is "Shipping"? It used to be there.

If you are entering the info in the inventory window, its under the tab: "Catagories, Shipping Options and Item Specifics", click the tab then check the box - Define shipping options for this auction site, and your shipping options appear.

If you are attempting from the Auctions window, click the "Shipping options" tab.

Both of these should be located mid page.

Hope this helps you out, and is what you are looking for!

Thanks, Marty! That was all I was asking: Why was "Shipping" removed from the main window. Clicking on the SHIPPING OPTIONS tab is an unnecessary extra step when I'm shipping dozens of different items. It used to be right there under the "Starting Bid" field on the main window.

I wish they'd put it back :(

You're welcome -
If you use the Inventory Window it is still there under Auction Info!
But you still have to go into the tab in order to "specify specifics"!

I'm afraid I don't use the Inventory Window. I use the Auction Lots Window, and have used it for years. I guess I just don't like unnecessary change :(

HI

Actually the change was necessary. With the listing format changes eBay imposed, it was necessary to alter everything. And that required re-arranging the windows to allow for the things we have to have now.

The shipping cost field is still available. It is still where it has always been.

I am sorry Shipping cost field change is a bit irritating to you. It just could not be helped.

Hi, Judy! I don't understand your statement, "The shipping cost field is still available. It is still where it has always been."

It's not there at all. Am I missing something?

Re: Where is"Shipping" Field new [re: peg]  

HI

The shipping cost field is still available on the "Shipping options" tab. It has always been there. The Shipping cost field was redundant. There were two. One on the front Auction lot page opposite the Buy Price. And on the Shipping options tab.

The "Shipping cost"field is still on the "Shipping options" tab.

There was no choice but to remove the redundant field because of the changes that had to be made in order to support eBay's listing type changes.

I hope that makes sense
