# Shipping (updated)
To access the Shipping options for the event, from the main Auction Dashboard go to Items and then click on the Shipping button in the Actions sidebar menu.
IMPORTANT
Shipping is a website-only feature; you cannot add Shipping via the dashboard, it will only work for the bidder checking out online.
As needed, you can manually add additional "shipping" charges via the dashboard using a For Sale Item. See How To Manually Add Shipping And Handling for more information on this approach.
# Shipping Dashboard
The Shipping dashboard allows you to set the Shipping Policy, Default Shipping cost, and Max Shipping cost.
# Shipping Policy
The event Shipping Policy is selected from a drop-down with the default being Optional.
- Optional
Using the Optional setting will let the bidder optionally pay for shipping if there are shipping fees assigned to the item the bidder won. - Mandatory
Using the Mandatory setting will require the bidder to pay for shipping if there are shipping fees assigned to the item the bidder won.
# Default Shipping
Amount of shipping for each item that doesn't specify its own amount.
# Max Shipping
Limit on the total shipping a bidder can be charged.
# Example: Fixed Shipping Cost
In those cases where you want to set a Fixed Shipping Cost you will need set the values for Default shipping cost and Max shipping cost equal to the "fixed" shipping cost.
Example: Fixed (mandatory) shipping cost of $25.00
# Fulfillment Options
You can provide a list of Fulfillment Options to bidders that will appear in the checkout screens.
The list of option you want to make available would be entered in a comma (,) separated list.
# Example: Fulfillment Options with Shipping
Pickup in East End,Pickup in West End,Shipping:$
This will provide three (3) options for the bidders to choose from in the checkout process. The first two options, in this case, are for two different "Pick-Up" locations and the third option will add the default shipping amount to the bidder's account.
