When you do your eBay listing, there is a section titled "Give buyers shipping details". Below that title you will see "U.S. shipping" and the default setting of "Flat: same cost to all buyers". If you click on the down arrow next to that option, you can change it to "Calculated: cost varies by buyer location". When you change it, it will then ask you details about the item's size, weight and how you want to mail it (UPS, USPS, etc.).

It can be a pain to that for every item you sell. You might be better off using USPS flat rate boxes and envelopes. They will save you a lot of time and effort and they save you the cost of buying boxes and envelopes to ship your items in.
