Shipping Improvements team

[Former_Member]

Hi all,

As you may or may not know, we've been working on improving shipping features on Etsy. There's a team where you can join and test these new features before they are available to everyone. And, they have just released the ability to offer expedited shipping!

I hope that everyone who is interested will go check this out and join their team. Getting feedback from sellers is crucial to the success of new features, so please give it a shot!

The team can be found here:

Is this regarding the ability to ship through Etsy, like we currently do through PayPal? If so, that would be really great. It's the only thing about DC that has been difficult. I have to find another way to ship that includes easily available tracking info. I've been using USPS online, but they don't allow first class shipping, so the shipping cost on a small item must go Priority increasing the cost dramatically. The other option is going into the PO and standing in line...

You can ship through PayPal even if the item wasn't sold through them.

First, log in to PayPal, then use https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now and you can create and print shipping labels.

I had joined that team around 2 months ago, but my buyers complained that they didn't know if i combine shipping and how much it would cost, so I opted out of it. Has there been improvements where new buyers can clearly see how much shipping cost?

You can now ship through etsy if you join

Juicy, I have belonged for a while and it didn't stop me from giving combined shipping. As a matter of fact, it allows you to offer more options

I requested to join and haven't heard back yet. Does anyone know how long it takes to be accepted?

I am enjoying the new shipping and the team

Hi Lauren!

I mean't that my buyers were confused. They were use to the standard shipping profile, not the new one. They couldn't find how much it were to combine shipping unless they added the item to their carts. I got so many messages asking about shipping and combining shipping when I was part of that team.
