How to set up shipping for your pieces

Updated October 24, 2026

Before your first sale

The first sale opens Set up selling once, where you enter the address you ship from and your preferences. There you choose the Default shipping mode: Colectin Shipping, Manual (your own carrier) or Colectin's defaults. New items start with that mode, and each item can be changed.

Colectin Shipping

The Colectin Shipping (carrier-quoted) option is only available if you ship from Spain. It carries parcels up to 30 kg, the Correos limit; if the parcel weighs more, use Manual. The Correos box limits are a longest side of 120 cm and 210 cm of length, width and height added up on national shipping, and 105 cm and 200 cm on international shipping. You pick a weight range and Colectin takes care of the box size. The buyer pays the shipping and picks the cheapest or the fastest option; the label and the tracking are automatic and you need a printer.

Manual (your own carrier)

Use the Manual (flat price) option with your own carrier. You have to enter a Package price (€) for your country: it is not saved if it is empty or 0, unless you offer free shipping. You can add a second price for the other EU countries; if you leave it empty, your country's price applies to all. Offer free shipping only exists with Manual: the buyer pays no shipping and you ship with your carrier at your own cost.

Meetup handover

You can turn on Offer a free meetup. The buyer's address is shared with you only after payment.

Countries, size and presets

You can restrict the countries you sell to. By default it is every launch market and the list cannot be empty. Package size (optional) is used to price the shipping: if the box is bigger than usual for its weight, the carrier may apply a surcharge that Colectin may charge you. My presets save settings to reuse them; they only fill fields and never change an item that is already published.

FAQs on this topic

How do I sell a piece?

Adding an item has four steps: Photos, Details, Provenance (optional) and Price & shipping. At the end you choose List it to put it up for sale, or Save to collection if you do not want to sell it yet. Read how to sell a piece.

Does Colectin charge the seller a fee?

No. Colectin charges the seller no commission on a sale and you are credited the item price. The buyer pays the fee, on top of the price. You only pay, if there are any, shipping surcharges or return labels at your expense. Read how to sell a piece.

Can I start with photos and let Colectin fill in the details?

Yes. Upload your photos and Colectin identifies the piece and fills in the details for you; review the highlighted fields before continuing. Read how to sell a piece.

What photos do I need?

Photos are JPG, PNG or WEBP and you need at least one. The first one is the cover and you can change it with Set as cover. See the photo guide and read how to sell a piece.

Can I import my listings from another marketplace?

Yes: paste the links to your listings (one per row, several at once) and Colectin fills in the details. Rookie has 5 imports for life; All Star and Legend are unlimited, and Legend can also import a whole seller profile. Read how to sell a piece.
