The chart in this article details group level and item level shipping surcharge settings by market and inventory category. When a shipping surcharge setting isn't available, you can use the Price Floor Modifier to manage additional shipping costs.
When you offer free shipping or carry heavy or oversized inventory, you can offset shipping costs by adding a shipping surcharge to your listings. The chart below details which markets have a dedicated shipping surcharge setting and how that shipping surcharge adds to the total listing price.
When a shipping surcharge isn't supported for certain markets or BMVD (Books, Music, Videos, or DVD) categories, you can set up inventory group pricing for a particular market then use the Price Floor Modifier to account for additional shipping charges.
