If you are still wondering about offering free shipping this article might be helpful.
Upvote this question 3 Downvote this question

Have been gradually editing my listing to free shipping, still wondering if it’s the right choice. Found this article which I found helpful. One thing that I really like about Bonanza is the, “free shipping” banner on each listing thumbnail in the search results.(Tried to add this to an old thread but is didn’t more the discussion up. Am not sure how this new forum works.)

I’m going to submit the “free shipping over $XX” idea as a suggestion so that sellers can vote on it.

Yeah, Tom!! Thank you very much, it’s an exciting prospect!! Could you post the voting link, please, so it’s easily accessible?

misskeech says: October 19, 2014

Yes, I would vote for it also! Please post the link when you get it.

Awesome, misskeech! I checked the Feedback (suggestion) page, and it looks like Tom hasn’t had time to post as yet. [URL removed]

Actually, I did make the suggestion on last night. However, all suggestions must be approved by the moderator before they can be seen and voted on. They will eventually read it and make a decision on whether to allow votes on my suggestion. If they approve it, I will then post the link for everyone.

RabbitsBookHutch says: October 19, 2014

Wow, Tom, you are terrific! Thank you so much for the update, and I’ll keep my fingers crossed. :-)

Is there a way to set up a shipping discount here on Bonanza that’s similar to Amazon’s setup?

That [URL removed] FREE Shipping on orders over $35.00.

I clicked around the Options areas and couldn’t find anything like that.

Thank you!

I was trying to do free shipping with 3 items or more and when I contacted support they said neither what you want or what I want is available. That was early in the year, hopefully they have or will add it.

RabbitsBookHutch says: October 18, 2014

I too hope Bonanza would offer that option. I’m sure Amazon has explored/studied the shipping topic extensively and has apparently concluded the FREE Shipping on orders over $35.00 is the most effective strategy for encouraging more sales.

I’d love to do Free Shipping With Conditions. By having regular old free shipping, you usually sell only one item. The buyer has no reason to keep looking.

For me, Free shipping when a buyer buys more items is better than when they reach a dollar amount. If you have it at a certain amount, expensive items will be free shipping all by themselves. Whereas, when buyers buy more items you have more wiggle room with the shipping costs you had factored into your items.

I can see this point. Something like FREE shipping if you buy “X” amount of items.

I went to the Post Office and asked about ‘free shipping’…
they laughed at me…
that which is ‘free’ has no value…
