When buyers search for items, they can sort results by price plus shipping. Items with free shipping or low shipping costs will rank higher.

Make sure your shipping rates are reasonable.
If you’re not sure, check our Excessive Shipping Policy. You can check the actual cost of shipping your item directly from SingPost or Fedex.
