The AW staff doesn't feel it necessary to answer this question for me -
HOW DO YOU INSERT THE EBAY SHIPPING COST CALCULATOR INTO AUCTIONS?
I see no way to enter the info into the Sales Manager listing process and I see no way to cut and paste the HTML from the eBay site.
THANKS!

I just asked Vendio about this and they currently do NOT support Ebay's shipping calculator.
Kinda odd considering it's a basic toll for nearly every seller, and thet Ebay has had it available for awhile, when listing through them directly. Wonder why Vendio hasn't seen fit to get some support for it? They have weight and dimension boxes on the listing forms already, but no calculator.

I hope Vendio isn't becoming an industry lagger instead of the leader they once were..seems like everything is so convoluted in the Sales Manager Program....still no reports...the gallery is priced way out of the realm of possiblity for people with a lot of listings and store inventory..seems to me that Vendio is REACTING to changes instead of planning for them..sighhhhhhhhhhh (and I don't even need a shipping calculator but by god they should have programmed that in long ago!) The checkout is a dinosaur !!

You have to Revise your auctions in eBay in order to get the calculator. A PIA, I know, but I like it for heavy object. Wish I could do it using SMP.
eBay charges outside vendor services for access to their API - and they do it piecemeal.
Want the calculator? That costs extra.
The listing service I use is not yet offering calculator or the review your auction page in toto. We get a preview of the auction and the choice of post or not - but we don't get the
account status info and the cost of fees
of the specific auction - and it's all because my service is not wanting to spend more, money that comes out of their pocket but can only be reimbursed by higher user fees- and nobody wants them.
Ultimately I suspect eBay would like to
control everything connected in any way to
their site- but I also think at some point the Feds will come a calling.
