Can anyone tell me how to insert a postage calculator into my listings so that people can click on it to see what actual shipping will be to their location? I've been off line a while and have lost touch with a few things, that being a big one. I would appreciate any and all help ASAP! Thanks!

This won't work anymore. Ebay is not allowing any type of java script at all--not even the Paypal Pay Now logos.

With the new policy of eBay putting in the Zip Code at the EOA, you can give the winning bidder the info as soon as the auction closes. I have already used it & it works!!

Thats not true I just listed an Item, Item # 2139074797 and I used Mr B's shipping calculator, and it listed fine and works like a charm as aways.

coffemug: That's strange-mine doesn't work. But it may be because it's for all three services-USPS, UPS & FedEx. I've found UPS is cheaper for 95% of my items over 1 pound, but I still like to give my customer the choice, and not just stick with Priority Mail.
sanmar: that's very true, but most bidders want to know what the shipping will be before they bid, not after they've already won the auction.

This is a e-mail I just got from Mark MR.B-----
Just wanted to let you know that I'll have to rewrite part
of the calculator script to conform to eBay's new JavaScript
rules. The calculator will no longer make it past the eBay
JavaScript sniffer. eBay has included *eval(* to their list of
JavaScript no-no's. This only affects the new version 2 of the
calculator. The original FREE version 1 of the calculator is
still useable
