I don't sell much so I'd appreciate any opinions.
Do your auction get more hits or better ending values with free shipping?

You would think it would but often my auctions with free shipping don't do as well as guys who charge for shipping. I knowit does not make sense.

I think it makes some sense - people tend to concentrate on the item price and not so much the shipping charge.

$25 free shipping or $23.95 plus $5 shipping - I bet most would chose $23.95 because it's a $1.05 cheaper (but not cheaper delivered).

You should always factor the shipping price into your max bid, but most people don't. When I win an auction with free shipping, it's an added bonus. I don't search for auctions that specifically offer it.
