Ebay

[Beta Man]

this is the stuff that pisses me off......

$20 shipping, and it's not even upgraded shipping etc. and $10 for optional insurance! This is someone intentionally trying to take advantage of people who aren't smart enough to read past the current bid....

wow.. so that person bought it for 70 bucks which is about (maybe $10 less) what the stores ask for


gets me mad 2. i dont bid on those with high shipping.. what it is (you might know) that ebay charges final value fee to the final prices excluding shipping. thats why you see items for buy it now at .99 cents but shipping at 30 bucks.

Never sold anything, so didn't know that! Thanks for the heads-up, but seems like a very deceiptful way of saving a buck or so.

That is grounds for reporting them to ebay. They are supposed to compensate for fees by increasing the bidding price, not the postage.

I bought a postal scale for like $3.50, but the S&H was about 15 bucks. I knew the S&H but even with it the quality of the scale was worth it. Now I use it for my own ebay sales.

You're a "Self Employed Street Pharmacist" ?

I don't know how you conclude that from just having a scale. Never was a pharmicist. Though if I search my real name on google, I find a guy with the same name who is a suspended pharmacist.

Perhaps HE is the one who is a "Self Employed Street Pharmacist" now.

Not only does ebay charge you, but Paypal sneaks a hand in the cookie jar. (If you go through paypal of course.)

so exagerated shipping is really the only way to compensate.

Perfect solution: DON'T BID

Yea paypal charges the seller for taking money from a CC! ANd whats to whine about?

[Stephie_is_a_dork]

They should regulate shipping charges for certain things like the amazon market sellers. I hate ebay. I tried bidding on several different things last year, but every single seller rejected my bid because I didn't have feedback yet. How is someone supposed to get feedback if no one is willing to be the first seller? It's ridiculous.

report the listing, the more reports it gets the quicker it is flagged and removed

I just reported it for you, even though its closed they can still kill the listing

yea, maybe $1 extra on shippign to cover the fees but not $10. also, if you pay money order or check then paypal isnt involved.
