Understanding Shipping Options for Physical Items on Gameflip

When you’re creating a physical-item listing on Gameflip, the available shipping options depend on both the item category and its weight.

🔍 Why this option may not appear

• You’ve chosen “I’ll ship the item myself (Free Shipping)” — this selection automatically removes the option for “Buyer pays for shipping.”
• You're listing in one of the following categories: Accessory, Console, or Other. Shipping options in these categories typically exclude “Seller pays label” or “Buyer pays shipping” because items usually weigh more than 0.5 lbs.
• The only listings eligible for “Buyer pays shipping” are those in the Games or Collectibles categories, which generally consist of items under or around 0.5 lbs.
   

✅ What you can do

• Re-check your chosen category — make sure it’s set as Games or Collectibles if you want the buyer to cover shipping.
• If you prefer to cover shipping yourself, simply keep the “Free Shipping” option selected.
• If your item is heavier or under the category restrictions, consider charging a shipping fee but classing it as part of the item price instead of expecting the buyer to pay separately.

Using the correct category and shipping option will ensure your listing behaves as expected and meets Gameflip’s logistics requirements.
