Set up Invoices

This is where you can edit your invoice variables. This area is located in the "Your account" area.

Defaults

Here you get to change your account information for each auction type (example: Ebay) that we allow you to send invoices for. Note that each account for each auction type MUST be unique. If you already have an account and have forgotten the info, you can request your information by going to the FAQ.

You also get to put in a default message for each invoice. In this area, you'll put down any miscelaneous instructions as well as your address and payment options.

And last, but not least, for each auction type, you get to create a message to send to each buyer when they pay up for the lots won.

Variables

Variables are defined to be things that change based upon the selling price of the item. An example would be: You want to charge $1.50 shipping and handling for items that sell for under $30, and you want to charge $2.00 for items selling under $60 but over $30, and you want to charge $2.50 for all items selling over $60. Then you would define shipping and handling to be:
To Value
30.00 1.50
60.00 2.00
anything 2.50

The Variables

  • SH = Shipping and Handling price for each item.
  • I = Insurance price for each item.
  • aSH = Shipping and handling for each item after the first. If your SH was $1, and your aSH was .25, then if someone gets 3 items they pay $1.50 shipping and handling.
  • aI = Insurance for each item after the first. If your I was $.50, and your aI was .10, then if someone gets 4 items they pay $.80 insurance.
  • tSH = Total shipping and handling. This is useful for either adding an extra charge for the whole order, OR for charging per set of items won (no matter how many won.)
  • tI = Total Insurance. This is useful for either adding an extra charge for the whole order, OR for charging per set of items won (no matter how many won.)

Samples

If you charge $2 postage for the first item, and $.50 for each extra item, then you would set SH to be $2 (no matter what the price the item sells at), and aSH to be $.50 (no matter what the price the item sells at). tSH would be 0 at all times.

If you charge $1 if they win a total of less than $20, $2.25 if they win $20 or more, you would set SH to be 0, aSH to be 0, and tSH to be:
To Value
19.99 1.00
anything 2.25

You can do insurance exactly the same way as you do shipping and handling. For ttcards.com, where we charge $1.50 for the first item, and $.50 for each additional item, but we also charge insurance based upon the total order, we would set:
SH to always be $1.50
aSH to always be $.50
tSH to always be $0.
I to always be $0.
aI to always be $0.
tI to be:
To Value
49.99 0.85
99.99 1.80
199.99 2.75
299.99 3.70
399.99 4.65
499.99 5.60
anything 6.55
