1. Buyer pays shipping unless specified by the seller that shipping is free.

2. No, you either list it to sell or don't list it at all.

3. I don't know what you mean by the 3rd part.

The seller tells the buyer the shipping price, and then the buyer pays it.

Both the cost of the item and the cost of shipping will be listed seperately on the listing for the item.

i.e. you dictate the price of shipping before you put it up for auction, and then the buyer pays that on top of their winning bid price

 

In answer to your second question, you can put a reserve price on the listing, so it will not sell unless it reaches the price which you hace dictated.

For example you put a reserve of £1000, but the bidding only gets up to £800 by the end of the auction, then the item isn't sold; but if the price reaches £1001, then the item is sold

 

Hope this helps :)

You can't list an item and not sell it the the winner. I think you used to be able to remove the auction so you could do that just before the end? But not too sure if its still there. Also the shipping depends on the seller sometimes they will pay but other times they'll expect the buyer to pay and will say how much this will cost.

 

Hope this helped

You estimate the shipping price using a calculator built into the site, then display that price in the "shipping price" information area when posting the advertisement for the auction/sale.

Unless you want to pay for the shipping, it is customary for the buyer to fund it.

The Australian one is spot on the 70+ instances I've used it.

Agreed, tends to be good.
