I also know alot of people that do that. I myself have done that on some occasions. I think if the price of the item is fair (when you include shipping)....what's the big deal? Now if the price of the item including shipping is higher than what I would pay at the store....then why buy it from Ebay..I'll just buy it at the store.

If you have a Carters Outlet in your city, or even a BabiesRUs, since they often put things on sale or clearance, you can get a better or equivalent price.

I reported the item for excessive shipping. I just think that the shipping was way out of line. I wound up not bidding on it because it went to about $15 w/shipping and that was too high for me!!

For some reason, I'm thinking that Target carries and brand of baby clothes made by Carters. IMO, I'd check Target out first before buying that stuff online.

The shipping prices people are charging on Ebay are starting to get ridiculous!

If people charge a lot to ship and have it stated, I just do not bid. I am not about to fight with a seller when they have it clearly stated. Just not worth it.

This is a common thing now on ebay - to charge high shipping charges.

I just dont bid on the item.

Thanks for all of the advice. I wound up getting 4 pairs of PJ's at Belks (like Macy's) for around $24 after coupons!! Better than I could have gotten on ebay for NWT!!

I prefer the carters Poly blend that fit a little looser; We are all hot natured and don't like clothes that bind!
