shipping policy I dont understand

Do I have to create a new policy every time I have a different quote for shipping?

Not necessarily - the policy (or policies) you create can be selected from the dropdown menu in the listing and then automatically applied (same with payment & return policies). You can create however many you need, but each different type of postage method and/or cost will become a separate policy.

eg sending a large letter with a registered option = one policy, sending a parcel with signature on delivery = a different policy. (i.e. each time there's a difference in services offered and/or prices charged, it needs a new policy).

If you mainly use the same postage costs for your listings, you can set one of your policies as the default and just change it if you need to.

Edit: Just re-read the question.... the answer to which is, yes.

Or don't use policies.

i have four templates set up in Turbolister, for different categories, and all of them default to 500g C&S satchels. If anything I list isn't going in a 500g satchel, I just edit the postage for that item. And I have NO postage policies.

Works for me.

Policies is a bad word for how they work. They are actually templates...that you can mix and match if you want.
