eBay is offering 15% off your Final Value Fees if you offer Free Shipping to your buyers.  Here's the announcement:

Offering free shipping is a great way to make your items stand out from your competition. Buyers love it, and it can help improve your Detailed Seller Ratings scores. If you haven't already tried it, now is a great time to start. From tomorrow, May 23rd through June 1st, you'll get 15% off your Final Value Fees when you offer Free Shipping on eBay.com and for Parts & Accessories listings on eBay Motors!

You can easily offer Free Shipping at the time of listing using either flat rate or calculated shipping. Not only could you get the discount, but items with Free Shipping also receive the eye-catching Free Shipping icon on the item page, and may receive additional exposure in Best Match.

To qualify, sellers must meet some basic criteria. For example, you must have a minimum score of 4.5 across all DSR categories (although new sellers with fewer than 10 DSRs are still eligible), and you can't require insurance on the item. Check out our information page for all the details [http://pages.ebay.com/promo/15FVF0523/].

It's a great time to try out Free Shipping, and enjoy the Final Value Fee savings!

Sincerely,

Kristina Klausen
