The cost of the shipping label will depend on the shipping carrier, and the origin, destination, weight, and dimensions of the package. If you add signature confirmation or insurance, those fees will be added to the total cost of the label at the point of purchase. Sellers who purchase shipping labels may also purchase parcel insurance through licensed insurance carriers.

Shipping fees and any adjustments are reflected in your payment account and deducted from your current balance.

2.  Fee Avoidance

Any action by a seller to avoid paying a fee is considered fee avoidance and is strictly prohibited by Crafty Fisherman. This includes, for example, encouraging buyers to purchase an item in your Crafty Fisherman shop through another venue. A transaction initiated on Crafty Fisherman may not be completed off of Crafty Fisherman. The price stated in each listing description must be an accurate representation of the sale. Sellers may not alter the item's price after a sale for the purpose of avoiding Etsy transaction fees, misrepresent the item’s location, or use another user's account without permission.
