Ok, so you go through all of these different auctions, think you are getting a great deal, win an auction for a low price, and then..... SHIPPING! Yeah, shipping charges. There have been a few members on this site that are VERY shady when it comes to shipping. Take for example, I have purchased numerous Marvel Legends on eBay, and average shipping is around $4.05. So why is it that some people demand $8.00-$12.50 for the exact same item? I will tell you why, it is a cushion. They know that even if the product sells for a dollar, then they will make $5.00 off of it and have their shipping covered. It is a way to ensure they make the amount of money at minimum off an item, at your expense.
I suggest that either they start setting reserves, and charge a fair amount for the shipping, or we, as eBayers, do not bid on auctions where they are using cushions on their products. This way, everything is operating above board, and fairly, without the hassle. I am sorry, but to sit here, and pay immediately after the auction ends, and someone takes 9 days to ship out your win, by Priority Mail, which is $4.05 and takes 3 days to get to you, and they charged you $9.00, then I think there is a problem there. Stand with me on this, and maybe we can have clearer lines of communication and more accurate pricing on eBay again!
