If you offer free shipping, the cost of the label comes out of your Curtsy earnings. Otherwise, the buyer pays for shipping. You can choose who pays while creating or editing the listing.

We recommend making shipping free for buyers to help your items sell faster, but this is optional. On average, about 60% of items are listed on Curtsy with free shipping, and those items typically sell 2x faster than items listed without free shipping. When you offer shoppers free shipping, the cost is deducted from your earnings.

If you offer free shipping, the label cost comes out of your earnings using a fixed price tier based on the weight selected for the listing. Since the buyer’s address isn’t known yet, Curtsy sets these tiers using the average shipping cost across orders within each weight tier. If the buyer pays shipping, the cost is calculated at checkout and varies based on their location.

After you make a sale, we’ll text you a link to your prepaid shipping label. Most USPS labels include a QR code that the Post Office can scan to print the label for you. QR codes aren’t available for labels going to overseas APO/FPO military addresses because those shipments require customs forms. In that case, download and print the full label instead.
