1. Set up rate tables on eBay

Log in to eBay and go to shipping settings in your account settings.

Please note that you need to log in every eBay sites that you want to create rate tables in, then create rate tables separately.

eg: For US/Motors site, please go to  https://www.ebay.com/ship/prf

Click "Edit" in rate table setting.

Create new shipping rate tables or edit existing rate tables.

You can set up 3 levels of shipping fees in one rate table, Expedited, Standard and Economy.

And for each level, you can specify different countries/regions and different fees.

Here is a sample international rate table.

Please note that once you include a country/region in this table, this country/region will only use the settings in this table the listing level shipping setting is no longer applicable for this country/region.

eg:

Let's say you specified $30 for Expedited, $20 for Standard, $10 for Economy for Worldwide in a listing.

But then you want special settings for Middle East and Southeast Asia, and set up a rate table as the capture above.

After applying this rate table to your listing, a Japanese buyer will see 3 sets of shipping fees: $30, $20 and $10, a Middle Eastern buyer will see 3 sets of shipping fees: $80, $50 and $20, a Southeast Asian buyer will see 2 sets of shipping fees: $60 and $40.

The Southeast Asia case is because it is included in the rate table and only has 2 sets of shipping fees.

2. View and edit eBay rate tables in SoldEazy

1) View

Go to  Channels > Channel Setting-eBay > eBay rate table

If you have never synchronized any rate tables from eBay before, the system will show "You currently do not have any eBay rate table."

Rate tables need to be synchronized from eBay to SoldEazy manually, if you created new rate tables or modified existing rate tables on eBay backend, you need to synchronize back to SoldEazy in time. Please refer to the steps below:

Go to Sell > Online Listing > Listing Maintenance

Click <Update Listing Status>

Choose the eBay account that you want to update, and check the add-on option, then click <Update>

When the system is updating, you can go to Tools > Batch Job Manager to check the progress.

After updating, you can go back to eBay Rate Table page and view the domestic or international rate tables within relevant eBay account.

Click the < Detail > button to view details

In this way, you can view existing shipping rate tables on eBay, specifically the shipping method, shipping county/region, shipping cost.

 

2) Edit

In view mode, you can also edit rate tables.

You can edit shipping cost for each existing country/region, but you cannot add/delete country/region, you cannot edit shipping method, you cannot create new rate tables or delete rate tables.

3. Apply rate tables in SoldEazy datasheets

1) Apply to one datasheet 

Go to Sell > Local Datasheet > Datasheet Maintenance ,

Go to the datasheet that you want to apply to, click the pencil button to enter edit mode

Go to the 3rd part "Shipping & Returns" to choose domestic and international shipping rate tables

If the datasheet is not listed yet, you can click <Save & Verify>, then list it if necessary

If the datasheet is listed already, you can click <Save and Sync> to synchronize changes to ebay

 

2) Bulk apply to multiple datasheets

Go to  Channels > Channel Setting-eBay > eBay rate table

Find the rate table that you want to use, copy its rate table id number

Then bulk download datasheet data to excel, go to the column "Domestic Rate Table" and "International Rate Table" and fill in the cells with Rate Table ID, upload the excel back to SoldEazy, then synchronize changes to eBay.
