Need help understanding Free Shipping.

 I need to know how i can put the shipping charge in the buyers invoice. It cost me more than my items. I would like to know how to set it the right way or i'll need to remove my Free shipping option :_|

Thanks.

You aren't allowed to charge the buyer more for shipping than what was quoted in the listing. If you try, the buyer can refuse to pay the extra charge.

Free Shipping just means that the asking price includes the cost of shipping and packaging.

Many items are not suitable for Mail Order/online selling. If the total price including S&H is too high for the market, either you find another product, or put your current items into lots which are higher priced, hiding the shipping cost.

I just had a multiple purchase in which the combined and discounted shipping dropped from nearly $100 to "only" $25. The buyer was pleased. A few of my higher priced items have Free Shipping advertised for Canadian buyers and modified Flat Rate shipping that is lower than the "actual" since it allows for the included shipping.
