I made an offer on another lot she had and she said that she would accept the offer if I would pay the $30 shipping fee on top of the last shipping fee so she could ship together!

That is $55 in shipping fees for like 50 or so items... BABY ITEMS!

This is what I'm talking about. There is a line between reasonalbe and GREEDY and people have crossed the line. LOL

I have another friend on my other board who also questioned high shipping on an item and I SWEAR the response she got was, "Well I had to take your item to the PO, and then because it was lunch time, I had to take my kids to get something to eat." SO her $10 shipping is helping foot the bill for lunch at McDs!!

Also if you start your item at .99, that is the chance you take. DON'T pass on your misjudment to the buyers. If youwanted more money, you should have started the auction at more money.

I'm NOT saying that most sellers aren't entieled to a 'handling' fee, but it needs to kept within reason. Its NOT right to charge all the extra 'costs' onto your buyers. Course I will blame the buyers too, becasue they are the ones supporting this robbery, as they are the ones who are bidding and paying for the items.

I also feel like these people are ruining ebay. Ebay keeps increasing thier prices and its probably a DIRECT result of these people! Trying to hide all their fees in the price of shipping to get out of paying them. Its not right.

That said, I did package up all my auctions yesterday, and I will have to increase my shipping prices, but NOT by much. MOst of my shipping prices were fairly accurate, and my $3 FC shipping was more than adequit to to cover most of the items as they only cost between 1.50-$2.50 to ship. But a few went way over, and after pp took thier fees, I lost money on some. Essp my priotiry rate packages.
