You have the option to add shipping and/or tax to an item during Close Out
- Go to Close Out > Process Payments.
- Next to the item, enter the shipping or tax in the respective Shipping and Tax fields
- The total amount will recalculate
- Click Process
The updated shipping and tax information will appear on the optional Winning Bidder Email that automatically goes out upon awarding an item. It will also appear on your Awarded Items report.
We highly recommend that you let your bidders know that there will be an additional shipping charge. You can add a note in each items' Special Notes section saying the winning bidder will be responsible for additional shipping and handling fees. If you know what the estimated shipping cost will be (for example, you're using a flat rate box), then we recommend you include that amount in the note as well.
More tips:
- Check with your local Chamber of Commerce regarding taxes on charitable sales.
- For shipping charges, there are shipping calculators available online and on different carriers' websites. For example, if you're using USPS, you can calculate estimates for shipping on your items here: http://postcalc.usps.com/
"I already Processed an item, how do I add shipping or tax now?"
If the item has already been awarded and processed, you can use our Quick Sale feature as a workaround to charge tax or shipping. This feature streamlines the process and avoids credit card refund fees.
