HOW TO USE Find Shippers FOR eBay PURCHASES

There are two main ways that buyers use Find Shippers for eBay purchases:

Scenario 1: You are interested in bidding on an eBay item, but the traditional retail freight price is too high.
Why Find Shippers: Because you are under no obligation until you accept a bid from a driver, you can list the eBay item on Find Shippers and find a driver willing to deliver it at your price – even before you bid on the item. If you win the auction, you accept the driver’s bid. If you don’t win the auction, then be sure to promptly decline the driver’s bid.

Scenario 2: You have already won an auction and received a high retail freight quote.
Why Find Shippers: You can “Try Find Shippers First” by listing the shipment on Find Shippers and trying to get a lower bid from a Find Shippers driver. Because many Find Shippers drivers are filling extra space in their trucks, you could save 20-80%. If no one selects your shipment in a reasonable timeframe, then you can use the traditional retail freight system.
