It is highly recommended that you define a template based on the number of items sold if you ship large quantities at once.

To create the template

  1. Go to the "Fee templates" page
  2. Select "Quantity" in the "Type of fee template
    If you have already created a fee template, click on "Add a new fee template" first
  3. Set shipping fees by zone (zones can be set up on the sales conditions page)

    You will first be asked to set the fees for the zone that includes your country
    a) Next to "Zone 1", click on "Define fees"
    b) Then click on "Select a shipping method" to choose a delivery method from the list of available methods
    c) Enter the fees for each range based on the number of items sold
    Example: for 1 to 5 items, the fee is €3.

    d) If you wish to add other delivery methods for this zone, click on "Add a new delivery method"
    Then set the corresponding ranges for the number of items sold as mentioned above.
    e) Click on "Save". By clicking on "Delete", anything you have added will be deleted.

    If necessary, repeat the steps for the other zones.

    Warning: the mention "Undefined fees" means that you have not set any shipping costs for this zone. If you submit the form and leave a zone with undefined shipping costs, the system assumes that you do not want to sell the item in that zone. Buyers from these countries will not be able to bid on or purchase the item.

  4. Add any exceptions for your deliveries
    This step is also optional. Nothing is set by default.
    You can either provide free shipping or require delivery with tracking based on a sales amount threshold, a given number of items sold, or the chosen payment method.

    Warning: if you want to require a tracked shipping in the case of a PayPal payment, please refer to the above instructions.

  5. Enter the name of the template. To facilitate management, it’s recommended that you select a practical name which is easy to remember.
    Click on "Save this template"
