I came up with a compromise, which is "no sticker shock" shipping. I try to keep shipping low enough that when someone sees what it is, it won't be shocking or off-putting, and I add a little to the cost of the item. That seems to be a compromise that has worked pretty well.Laura's Last Ditch--Vintage Kitchenwareshttp://www.lauraslastditch.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364146526985747601.post-7734279943658056742012-01-20T12:18:11.018-06:002012-01-20T12:18:11.018-06:00Fantastic article.

I wonder if the 'free shipping' will actually offset the fact that your item now shows up in the searches at a higher cost with the potential of turning away shoppers at a glance?Serenity in Chainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924257028633051411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364146526985747601.post-91966994401147746842012-01-14T16:50:54.024-06:002012-01-14T16:50:54.024-06:00Actually, I switched over my some of my jewelry li...Actually, I switched over my some of my jewelry listings to reflect free domestic shipping and reduced International shipping and am working my way through the listings to switch them all over to this.<br /><br />My ACEOs which I can ship in a 1st class letter, I'll also be switching to free shipping.<br /><br />The heavier items I'm leaving as-is and the inexpensive items also as-is.<br /><br />I started with a few items in November and have added more since then and they have been receiving more attention and sales are steady so I believe this is working for me.<br /><br />Keep up the great advice! :-)MadScientistsDesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12569421261015950284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364146526985747601.post-2823985807762311192012-01-11T14:29:42.273-06:002012-01-11T14:29:42.273-06:00Sadly, I can't do this, since most of my items...Sadly, I can't do this, since most of my items are in the $2-4 range.

And since my items are on the heavier side, the shipping is quite a bit more than $3.00.
