How do you best utilize free shipping Tuesday?

 

From the perspective of a new seller with low volumes how would you best utilize this offer? Do you offer free shipping to buyers in Canada and hope something sells within the handling time posted (2 business days for example) and ship on a Tuesday. Do you post the item as you normally would (Expedited Parcel - calculated shipping) and refund the shipping if the buyer happens to be in Canada and you can ship on a Tuesday within the posted handling time. It's unreasonable to ask a buyer to wait until next Tuesday to ship If you sell an item on a Wednesday for example.

 

I want to utilize this promotion to attract buyers but don't want to make things too complicated.

It just won't work as a way of attracting buyers unless you are running only auctions that end on Sunday night  or Monday, are open only to Canadian buyers,  and are sure that the buyer will pay within 48 hours .

 

Too many ifs.

 

Accept it as an Unbirthday Present, from eBay and use the savings to make up for returns, undercharges and all the other problems you've had since last October.
