Mixing Flat and Calculated Shipping in AddItem
Summary
API Version 477 introduced the ability to offer a mix of Flat and Calculated Shipping for your item. You cannot mix shipping types within Domestic and International shipping options but two more shipping types were introduced to enable a seller to use flat rate shipping for the domestic services and calculated shipping for the international shipping services, or vice versa..
Below are examples of the two mixed shipping options:
A seller can offer up to three domestic shipping services and up to three international shipping services. All domestic services must be the same shipping type (for example, Flat
versus Calculated
); the same is true for international shipping services offered by the seller.
