I have virtually ceased to visit ebay.
I buy mostly old magazine etc. and as I do a lot of
mailing across North America I know exactly what
envelop/postage -weight- costs are.
I have been constantly upset at vendors trying to jack
up their profits under the guise of
"handling-packing-shipping" costs or whatever on stuff
that I won fair and square at a price I was willing to
pay...thinking the postage to get it to me would be
the normal rate.
Even if one allows for some extra money due to the
time or effort to mail stuff (which shouldn't really
come in to the question though), there is still too
high a degree of fraudulent extra charges under this
postage guise.
So, they'll always be people on ebay, and the practice
will go on, unless everyone complains,
But having been PO'd a little too often, I have
neither bought nor even visited Ebay in months.. well,
think of all the money I've saved-- yippee ;-)
cheers
