Found the option in Shipping Options but pricing seems high in respect with shipping dimensions and weight. Unless prices went up since I stopped selling on eBay in 2019.

Post Office, UPS, Fedex raise shipping prices every year, sometimes 2 times or more in a year.

Agreed, it went up a lot. If you as a seller dont know what ship costs are, imagine the BUYERS who expect to get shipping for FREE which is quite an expense for the sellers if they do that now. Makes it tougher to sell with high ship prices as they are now.

I’m based in Florida and I’ve found the Bonanza calculator doesn’t figure correct charges for shipping to CA, AK and other distant states, especially when selling a large or heavy item. You might want to put a note in your listings (of large or heavy items), for buyers to check with you before buying for an accurate shipping amount to their zip code. It’s a big help if you have the zip code and can look up the actual cost before the item is sold with incorrect shipping costs.

You have to figure it out yourself.
Use the USPS charts to figure your shipping costs. If you use Pay Pal you will get the commercial rate. Here is the link to the USPS shipping charts.

Here is the USPS Business Calculator. If you use Pay Pal to print your shipping labels this will work.

I set my Bonanza items to calculated shipping where the buyer pays shipping but then go to Pirate Ship to purchase postage which is cheaper than Bonanza shipping rates. Then copy and paste the USPS tracking # from Pirate Ship to Bonanza transaction and send notice to buyer. Today I sent an item where I purchased shipping from Pirate Ship. The buyer paid $2.40 more postage on Bonanza than what the Pirate Ship rate was. You, as the seller, have the option of sending the difference to the buyer or keeping the difference.
