Release Notes
You can save the settings as a Policy to apply the same configurations to the different M2E Pro Listings or override the Listing settings for individual Items.
Item Location
As a rule, information about country, city, state, and zip/postal code is pre-filled based on your Magento settings. Still, you can change it if necessary.
Also, you can set the appropriate Magento attributes as Location values.
Domestic and International Shipping
In M2E Pro, you can consider setting up the following shipping types for your items:
- Flat: same cost to all buyers allows charging your customers a single shipping rate.
- Calculated: cost varies by buyer’s location allows charging a shipping rate based on the package`s weight and dimensions, buyer's location. It is supported on the US, CA (English and French), and AU sites.
If you’ve selected Calculated shipping, you can specify whether a package is irregular and cannot go through the stamping machine at the shipping service office and requires special or fragile handling. For that, set the Irregular Package option to Yes.
- Freight: large items - allows shipping items heavier than 150 lbs. It is supported on the US, CA (English and French), AU, and GB sites.
- No shipping: local pickup only - indicates that you do not ship products, so your buyers should arrange a pickup.
Please remember that Freight and No shipping options are available for Domestic shipping only.
It is required to add at least one shipping method if you select Flat or Calculated shipping type. For this, click Add Shipping Method and specify its Cost using the suitable Mode.
In the Additional Cost field, you can specify a fixed amount for each additional item purchased in case your item quantity is more than 1. For example, the shipping cost for the item you sell is $5. You can add $2 to the total shipping cost if the same buyer purchases multiple quantities of the same line item. Specifying Additional Cost is optional.
You can add an unlimited number of Shipping Services by clicking Add Method.
If you are going to list your Product on the Marketplaces with different Base Currency and the Shipping Cost value is set to be taken from Magento Attribute with Price input type, you can enable the automatic Currency conversion.
If your Flat Rate shipping is based on weight, set eBay Shipping Rate Tables to 'Yes' so that you can indicate the required Package Details.
Package details
M2E Pro allows specifying Package Type, Dimensions, and Weight for all shipping types except for Freight and Local pickup options. This means you can provide the required Package details in eBay Shipping Policy whenever you use Flat or Calculated shipping types. For Calculated shipping types these fields are required.
If you use Magento Attribute to define the package size for a Product, the values need to be:
Label | Value |
Letter | Letter |
Large Envelope | LargeEnvelope |
Package | PackageThickEnvelope |
Large Package | USPSLargePack |
As a Weight Source, you can either select Custom Value and enter the weight manually or use Magento Attribute.
To define the Calculated shipping weight via Magento Attribute, apply decimal values (e.g., for 1lb 12oz, use the value 1.75).
Freight
Used for items heavier than 150 lbs (only for Domestic shipping).
The option is available for AU, CA, GB, US, and CA (French) eBay Marketplaces.
No Shipping
Used when you do not plan to ship the item, and the buyer will need to arrange a pickup (only for Domestic shipping)
If you are using a Magento Attribute to define the calculated shipping weight, use decimal values. For example, for 1lb 12oz, use the value 1.75.
Due to eBay API specifications, you cannot indicate the weight for each Child Item of your Configurable Product. eBay provides only one Weight field per product, regardless of the number of Child Items.
In this case, you should set an average weight value for your Configurable Product, which will be used to calculate the Shipping Price based on weight.
Other Shipping Settings
