 Setting the right shipping policies on eBay is very important if you want to take care of your eBay seller account and that is because eBay wants you to give the right information to your buyers regarding when we're going to receive our package and how long it's going to take us to provide a tracking number along with where the product is coming from. A lot of people are getting confused by how to create the right shipping policies when they're dropshipping from China and that's exactly what I'm going to be going over in this video. Quick intro and let's go. Let's start creating our shipping business policies to let our buyers know how long it will take the packages to reach them, how long it will take to provide a tracking information and where the product is being sourced from. All of this information needs to be relevant to the items that you are adding to your stores and needs to comply with what your supplier on AliExpress can offer you. So there are many sellers on AliExpress and many of them have different shipping policies in different shipping times so be always sure to check out how long it takes your sellers on AliExpress to ship out their products and then assign the right policies to them. But if you are researching great suppliers on AliExpress most of them will have decent shipping times and we're going to create shipping policies for them. To begin head over to your business policies on eBay and if you don't know how to get to there there are a couple methods that you can use. First you can search for eBay business policies on Google and click on the first link that shows up. Here you have an explanation from eBay on their business policies and here you'll have a link to the business policies. You can also click on the link to opt in. Now if you've already created a listing on eBay then you already have the eBay seller dashboard which you can also use to reach your business policies. Here's how you can reach to it from your eBay account. On the top left you're going to hover over your name and click on account settings. Then you're going to scroll down and click on business policies. So here we've got our business policies. We've got payment policies, return policies and shipping policies and right now we're talking about shipping policies. So what I'm going to do is click on create policy and then I'll click on shipping. First things first we're going to give our policy a name. So in this case I'll call it shipping from China. Then you've got your domestic shipping and your international shipping. So domestic shipping is how long it will take me to reach my domestic audience, my target audience which in this case it's eBay US. In your case it can be something different. And then you've got your international shipping. So if I'm not drop shipping to the US to my target audience I want to drop ship anywhere outside my domestic audiences country. And that is because I want to open up my listing to the worldwide audience where many people will be able to see my listing. I'll also show you how to do that. Let's start with a domestic shipping. So we're going to leave it on flat same cost to all buyers. And then in services we are going to scroll down and choose economy shipping from outside the US 11 to 23 business days. This is how long it will take the package to reach the buyer after we've provided tracking information. Now we have a few days that we can choose to provide tracking information which is added on top of the total 11 to 23 business days. I will show you exactly what I mean in a minute. In the cost we're going to leave it at zero dollars and for each additional unit will still cost zero dollars. In other words we're providing free shipping. And this is something that we want to offer all of our buyers even if the seller on Ali express charges for shipping when we want to have tracking information available auto DS can take the sources price and also the sources shipping price combine it together and offer your buyers free shipping while still maintaining the profit margin that you set in your settings. So once again even if Ali express even if the sellers there charge you for shipping you can still choose in the auto DS settings that you want to always choose the cheapest shipping option as long as tracking is available. And then once again it'll add those two prices together and will offer free shipping to your buyers and any buyer would love to rather see free shipping rather than pay for shipping even if it comes out to be the same price in the end it's a psychological effect and we want to offer free shipping. Then we've got the handling time and this is the amount of time that it takes you to provide tracking information. So once again it needs to be the same as what our buyers on Ali express can offer us and that is why we want to research the best sellers there when we're looking for products to sell. Now the handling time for most of the best sellers that we have on Ali express the sellers who have good reviews with great shipping should usually ship out between three to four business days. Now in this case eBay says that it is excessive and not typical to have four plus business days to provide tracking information. And in this case they will give your listing fewer visibility if you're going with four plus business days to provide tracking information. But we're still going to take the safe road and go with four business days. And once we see that our shipments are coming out and we're getting tracking information within the first three days, then you can go ahead and change this to three business days. But you'd rather start with four business days and then change it and prove it to three once you know that you're good for it. Instead of starting with three and then getting a lot of late shipments which eBay does not like to see. So start with four and see how that goes from there. Now let's add another bonus tip for you to make extra profits when getting orders from China. So what you want to do here is click on offer additional service. And on top of the economy shipping from outside the US 11 and 23 business days, we're going to go ahead and scroll down and choose economy shipping from China five to 12 business days. Now why are we doing this? This is because most of our packages are going to reach our buyers within 12 business days. This is once again if we're using great sellers on Ali Express. So you always want to check out your sellers reviews and see the total number of reviews that they're getting on their shipping speed. If their shipping speed is 4.5 and up and they've been on the platform for over a year, you pretty much have nothing to worry about. So here you can go ahead and choose five to 12 business days. And what we're going to do here is add an extra cost for that. For example, we can go with $4.97. You can even go for cheaper prices just to get those extra sales first. And of course, you can definitely play around with this. If you're making sales with $3.97, then go ahead and upgrade it to $4.97 and then $5.97 and find that sweet spot that people are using. They're still purchasing it and you're making that extra profit. So what's going to happen here is you're going to use the same shipping methods from AliExpress. And most of those good sellers are definitely going to be able to ship out and deliver those products within 12 business days. That's on top of the four business days that you already have. So here we're talking about 12 plus four. That is 16 business days, not including weekends. So that is more than enough time for packages to reach AliExpress to your U.S. buyers. But of course, keep your eye on it and see if there are any sellers that are not shipping out their products on time, remove them and replace them with better sellers. So with this neat little trick, you're going to make an extra few dollars of profit. And this is 100% profit because it is not costing you anything. And that is a great tip from me to you. Now let's talk about international shipping. Since the majority of AliExpress Chinese sellers can ship worldwide, we also want to enjoy those sales too. So in order to do that, what we're going to do is enable international shipping by clicking on no international shipping and change that to flat same cost to all buyers. And then what we want to do on the first ship to is change that to choose custom location. And here we're going to go ahead and choose Canada, Europe, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan and Australia. Now what we're going to do on services is choose economy shipping from greater China to worldwide. And the cost here will be $0. So here you're enabling worldwide shipping to those countries at no additional cost for shipping. And that is because most sellers on AliExpress are not going to charge you for that either when shipping to those countries. Next, what we're going to do is click on offer additional service. So after clicking on offer additional service, click on the dropdown and once again choose custom location and choose the same countries as above. So Canada, Europe, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Australia. Now in the services instead of the economy shipping, we're going to go with a standard shipping from greater China to worldwide. And here we're going to charge an extra whatever you see fit. Let's go with $2.97. So it's not too much, but it looks like it's faster standard shipping rather than using economy shipping. So that's just a little trick and it's up to you to do it and choose what sum you want to charge for that. But once again, it's 100% free profit without additional expenses and it's a great bonus to have. Now we're going to add one more additional service to those extra countries that we still can ship to, but AliExpress is most likely the sellers are going to charge us for shipping to those countries. So what we're going to do here is click on offer additional service, choose custom location and this time go with North and South America, Mexico, Brazil and Russian Federation. The only countries that we're leaving out is Asia and China. Here what we're going to choose is the same as the first one, which is economy shipping from greater China to worldwide. And here we're going to charge an additional $4.97. It should usually be a couple bucks or three bucks, which is what AliExpress sellers will charge you and you're just going to make sure that you're not going to lose money on the shipping price. So we're going to go with $4.97 and an additional $3.97 per extra unit. Now AliExpress is not going to charge you an extra for that. So if your buyer adds a quantity of two or three, you're going to enjoy that extra $3.97 times the item quantity. So these are great ways to also make extra profit on the side while also opening up your listings to the worldwide meaning many, many people are going to see your listing and not just in one specific location like the United States. So more traffic to our stores, more sales and extra profit on shipping services, even though we're using the same. Next, in additional ship to locations, buyer contacts for costs, we will go ahead and leave it on will ship worldwide. And if any buyer from any country that we didn't specify would like to purchase our product, they can leave us a message on eBay and then we can check on AliExpress if the seller can ship to there and what the costs are and revert back to the buyer and make those extra sales. So we're going to leave this on will ship to worldwide, buyer contacts for costs, shipping rate tables, we're going to leave it blank as is. And the last thing we're going to do is exclude shipping locations to make sure that those countries, those specific locations cannot buy from our store. And that is simply because AliExpress sellers will not be able to ship to them. So what we're going to do is click on create exclusion list. And here we're going to start ticking in the boxes for the countries that we do not want to ship to. So we're going to click on domestic Alaska, Hawaii, US Protectorates and APO FPO. This is of course, if your domestic country is in the United States and down here in additional locations, we're also going to click in PO Box. So we don't want to ship to any of these places or PO boxes that are worldwide. Next, under Asia, we're going to click on show all countries. And here we want to click in China because we don't want to ship to China. They've got their own stores, their own dropshipping services. The products are coming from there. And we're also going to click in Hong Kong. So we're going to exclude those two countries from Asia. And we're going to also show all countries in Central America and click in Puerto Rico. OK, because we can simply not ship to there. There's a lot of problems when we try to ship there. And we want to avoid any problems. So this is the way that we want to exclude our shipping locations. Then we're going to click on apply. And that pretty much sums up how we're going to create shipping policies from Chinese suppliers like Ali Express. This is the best way to do it and continue optimizing it from here, depending on what types of sellers you're going to get from Ali Express. But most of the good sellers are going to be able to provide these conditions, which means that you can provide them to your buyers and there will not be any problems whatsoever. And you'll also enjoy those extra cells from worldwide and enjoy the extra profits from faster shipping methods, even though we are using the same shipping methods ourselves.
