I MEAN IT THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH !!!!! LETS FACE IT THE CHEAPER WE AS BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS CAN INCUR AND EXPENSE SHIPPING COSTS THE BETTER WE ALL ARE !!!!!!!!!!! I FOUND OUT THINGS I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT TODAY AND ID LIKE TO PASS IT ALONG TO MY FELLOW MEMBERS MAYBE THEY TO DID NOT KNOW THIS SO HERE GOES. FIRST OF ALL I HAVE BEEN PAYING 1.59 FOR 6X9 BUBBLE WRAP MAILERS A THOUGHTFULL MEMBER PASSED ALONG A EMAIL SAYING YOU CAN BY THEM AT WAL MART MUCH CHEAPER !!!!!!!!! AND I MEAN A LOT CHEAPER!!!!!!!!!! SECONDLY ANOTHER MEMBER PASSED ALONG INFORMATION TO ME THAT THREW THE USPS WEB SITE YOU CAN GET BOXES FOR FREE !!!! NO COST WHATSOEVER ,NO COST FOR THE BOXES OR SHIPPING !!!!!!!!!! SEE THE WAY I LOOK AT IT THE CHEAPER WE CAN SHIP AND THE CHEAPER WE CAN BUY THE BETTER WE ALL ARE . PEOPLE CAN SELL TO US CHEAPER AND WE CAN SELL CHEAPER TO OTHER MEMBERS !!! THAT MEANS MORE TRUE PROFIT TO US AS SELLERS AND LESS TOTAL EXPENSE TO US AS BUYERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS TO EVERONE , AND IF ANYONE HAS MORE INFO ON CUTTING COSTS ON SHIPPING ID LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT AND THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE YOUR FELLOW MEMBER AND FRIEN -SHIBY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK NOW IM GOING TO START A HORNETS NEST HERE !!Posted Apr-14-07 04:55:50 PDT OK HERE I GO IM WRITING THIS SO I HOPE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WILL SEE AND COMMENT. I KNOW I MAY GET KICKED IN THE TEETH HERE BUT HERE GOES !! I KEEP HEARING ABOUT EXESSIVE SHIPPING COSTS {YA I KNOW I MIS SPELT EXESSIVE} . IN MY OPINION SHIPPING COSTS SHOULD ONLY INCLUDE COSTS DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH SHIPPING THE ITEM AND NOTHING ELSE !!!FEES ETC . ARE A AGAINST EBAYS POLICIES TO INTAIL IN SHIPPING AND I TOTALY AGREE!!! I RECENTLY SAW A SELLER TRYING TO SELL A CHESS SET AND IT WAS LISTED AT .99 BUY NOW !! ---------------------- SHIPPING 99.50--------------!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!!! SO I EMAILED TO ASK IF IT COULD HAVE BEEN A TYPO ,THE SELLER RESPONDED NO NO TYPO THE SHIPPING INCLUDES THE WHOLE SALE PRICE ! I SAID TO MY SELF YOU GOTTA BE BREAKING MY _____S. HOWEVER, WHEN I STARTED SELLING I TRIED THE LET EBAY CALCULATE THE FREIGHT AND I GOT BURNED !!!!!!!!!!!!. BOY ITS A TUFF SUBJECT HERE SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE FEEDBACK AND IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME GO AHEAD AND BLAST ME !!!!!!!!!!! IM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO WILL ADMIT IM AN EXPERT ON NOTHING AND I LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY !!!! I THINK VALID SHIPPING COSTS ARE AS FOLLOWS. POSTAGE, SHIPPING ENVELOPES, SHIPPING TAPE AND ALL PACKING MATERIAL,BOXES, LABELS ETC IM SORRY I DONT FEEL SHIPPING SHOULD ONLY INCLUDE WHAT THE ACTUALL POSTAGE IS !! BUT I TOTALY DISAGREE WITH ANY THING ELSE BESIDES WHAT IS A DIRECT EXPENSE OF SHIPPING !!! PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS IF YOU HAVE TIME AND FEEL FREE TO OPEN UP ON ME!!! I REALLY ENJOY BELONGING TO THE EBAY COMMUNITY !!-THANKS AS ALWAYS -SHIBY!! COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY !!!!!! TO EVERTHING!!!!!!!!!!!Posted Apr-10-07 15:05:21 PDT COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY !! LETS FACE IT SOMETIMES THINGS GO WRONG THAT PEOPLE DONT PLAN FOR BUT, IVE DISCOVERED THAT LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS MAKE MATTERS WORSE. I HAVE RUN INTO THIS SITUATION ON BOTH THE SELLING END AND THE BUYING END. HERES AN EXAMPLE I BID ON AN ITEM ON MARCH 18TH WON THE ITEM AND EBAYER DIDNT EXCEPT PAY PAL SO I CALLED , GOT THE ADDRESS SENT A CHECK AND THE CHECK CLEARED A FEW DAYS LATER BUT NEVER RECIEVED THE ITEM. SO , I SENT COUNTLESS EMAILS AND GOT NO RESPONSE. I CALLED BUT GOT NO ANS OR A BUSY SIGNAL. SO I WAITED AND HEARD NOTHING. I KEPT SENDING EMAILS AND STILL NO RESPONSE! FINALLY I HAD TO LEAVE NEG FEED BACK WHICH I HATE DOING !!!!!!!! AND GOT EBAY INVOLVED!! NOW THE SELLER SAYS I LOST YOUR ADDRESS! WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME !! MY ADDRESS WAS ON THE CHECK ITS ALSO ON THE INVOICE ITS ALSO AVAILIBLE FROM EBAY!! NOW MAYBE THIS WAS A HONEST SITUATION OR MAYBE ITS NOT AND REMEMBER THIS TRANSACTION INVOLVED A TOLTAL OF 12 DOLLARS AND 1 CENT. SIMPLE COMMUNICATION COULD HAVE SAVED THIS SITUATION FROM BEING A MESS ! THINGS LIKE HEY I WENT TO PACK THE ITEM AND IT BROKE OR MY DOG ATE IT OR WHATEVER MY POINT IS THAT THINGS GO WRONG SOMETIMES AND SOME TIMES THE SIMPLE ACT OF JUST SIMPLE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS CAN SAVE A LOT OF AGGRAVATION. ANOTHER EXAMPLE , I PUT UP A MINT SET FOR SALE AND IT SOLD FOR LESS THAN 10 DOLLARS , ITS BEEN 10 DAYS NOW AND NO PAYMENT AND NO COMMUNICATION. MAYBE THE TRANSMISSION WENT IN MY CAR AND I DONT HAVE THE 10 DOLLARS!! WELL OK TRUST ME I KNOW FIRST HAND THINGS HAPPEN JUST PLEASE COMMUNICTE WITH ME THATS ALL I WILL UNDERSTAND , SOMETIMES THINGS GO WRONG. MY POINT OF THIS BLOG IS VERY SIMPLE , SOPMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN AND SOMETIMES SIMPLE COMMUNICATION CAN AVOID PROBLEMS. SIMPLE ISNT IT ! |
