Hello, how can we help you?

How much should I charge for shipping?

Reverb offers discounted shipping labels to sellers in both the US and UK. Sellers in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, and the UK can also purchase discounted shipping labels through Reverb's partner, Packlink.

Quick answer

With calculated shipping selected when you list your item, Reverb automatically determines the shipping cost based on the buyer's location and your package size. The shipping option you choose determines what your buyer pays at checkout. That's why we recommend calculated shipping – it's the easiest way to get your shipping costs right without doing the math yourself.

Reverb calculated shipping (recommended)

By letting Reverb calculate the shipping for you, Reverb automatically determines the shipping cost based on the buyer's location and your package size. That means every buyer sees an accurate price at checkout without any guesswork on your end, and no overpaying on theirs. Listings with accurate shipping costs tend to sell faster because buyers can commit with confidence.

To get started, select Let Reverb determine the shipping cost for you when creating or editing your listing, then enter your package dimensions and weight. We'll handle the rest.

Prefer to set your own rate?

If you'd rather set a flat shipping rate, use our shipping label estimator to find the right price. The estimator calculates the farthest distance your package can travel within your selected region and gives you a cost based on our discounted labels.

A few things to keep in mind when using the estimator:

  • Estimates don't include packaging, packing services, Safe Shipping, or Signature Required.
  • If you want to factor in Safe Shipping, that's typically up to 3.5% of the product amount.
  • We suggest rounding up slightly to cover packing materials. If shipping ends up costing less than what your buyer paid, you can always refund the difference.

Once your listing sells, you can purchase a discounted shipping label directly from your Orders page.
