In 2021, eBay has upgraded the international logistics freight price list. Sellers can use the international logistics freight price list (hereinafter referred to as the “freight list”) to set specific transportation services and transportation costs for different countries. For example, you can choose the designated SpeedPAK logistics service, Set the shipping cost for shipping to different countries. Choosing the right shipping option will show a shorter EDD (Item Estimated Delivery Time), which will improve the buyer’s impression of the item, which in turn will increase the speed of sales and conversion. We see that more and more sellers are starting to use the international logistics freight price list, and get good results. In order to help sellers improve operational efficiency and manage international shipping price lists more flexibly and conveniently, eBay has launched the Rate Table API. Sellers can contact your service provider or developer, use the API, and update the international shipping price list according to your business model Introduction to Rate Table API The API provides sellers with advanced methods for managing international shipping price lists (get Rate Table method and update Shipping Cost method), and supports applications on 8 major eBay sites in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Canada, France, Italy and Spain. Using the methods above, sellers can: ♦ Retrieve the freight table specified by the freight table ID ♦ Quickly update the freight information of the freight table specified by the freight table ID API call sequence and methods ♦ The seller can first use the existing get Rate Tables method to retrieve the seller’s rate table, which is a collection of simple information of the rate table (including the rate table ID and name, etc.). ♦ The seller can then use one of the obtained rate table IDs to call the get Rate Table method to get the details of the specified rate table (details include name, ID, region, and shipping rate, etc.). For most sellers, adjusting the international logistics shipping price list is a relatively frequent operation, and this API is also designed to help sellers quickly modify shipping costs. In the future, eBay will also provide sellers with more comprehensive API functions to manage international logistics freight price lists, so stay tuned!
