1. Decide on a delivery method. You’ll have to think about how you will get whatever it is you’re selling to the buyer. You may choose to sell only to local contacts and require that they pick up any items they purchase. Then the onus for delivery isn’t on you. The only problem with this method is that you limit yourself in terms of the number of potential buyers you can sell to.
If you decide that you’ll ship whatever you’re selling, you’ll have to find out how much various delivery services charge and then pass that cost on to your buyers. Most shippers, whether it’s the post office or a courier like FedEx, base their delivery charges on size and weight of the item being shipped, how far it’s going and how fast you want it to get there.
You can choose to deal only with one or two shippers and that will make shipping pricing much easier to deal with. The post office should be your main method of shipping. If you want to offer another option to buyers, pick just one carrier to use to keep it simple.
