Managing shipping profiles

Each marketplace has its own shipping rules.

Some only allow prepaid labels, others let you handle shipping yourself, and some offer local pickup options.

To simplify things, Crosslist groups these into three standard shipping methods:

• Prepaid shipping – the marketplace provides the shipping label
• Ship yourself – you create or upload your own shipping label
• Local pickup – the buyer picks up the item in person

The shipping options you see in Crosslist will always reflect what’s supported by the selected marketplace.

While marketplaces use different terms, Crosslist standardizes them into these three categories.

This way, you always work with a familiar set of options, no matter which platform you’re listing on.

Crosslist also hides unsupported methods automatically, so you're only shown valid options for each marketplace.

2. Go to Shipping profiles in the account menu

Setting up defaults

Crosslist lets you set default shipping values per marketplace, including weight, dimensions, and shipping price.

This is useful if you're frequently listing similar items and want to avoid entering the same details repeatedly.

You can configure your default settings here.

INFO

If you enter specific shipping details in the listing form, they will override your default values.

This gives you flexibility to make one-off changes without altering your saved defaults.

For Mercari and Facebook Marketplace, you can also set a preferred shipping carrier — useful if some carriers are more reliable or affordable in your region.

Currently supported carriers:

• DHL
• FedEx
• UPS
• USPS

INFO

If your preferred carrier is not available, Crosslist will automatically choose the cheapest available option.

If your preferred carrier has multiple rates, we’ll still choose the lowest cost.
