• Finally, apply the Postage Business Policy to listings
For each individual listing, you will need to do the following:
Item
Weight
Surcharge
Nothing more needed. The Rate Table will apply your preset amount per item sold
based on the buyer’s postcode.
Enter the weight into the Weight field. To ensure you do not undercharge, you will
need to enter the higher of actual weight or volumetric weight in line with how your
carrier calculates chargeable weight. The Dimension fields in your listings are not
used by the Rate Table feature to calculate volumetric weight.
Enter the base flat rate postage amount. A surcharge will be added based on the
postcode of the buyer and the surcharges you have set in your Rate Table.
