I actually hit 'no' Ed. I always assume that any shipping charges $5-$6 or less are not worth questioning. Reason is that whenever I sell a coin, it takes $1 worth of material to package it, $2-$3 worth of gas to drive to the post office and back, and about 30 minutes out of my day.

Wow get over it already! We already hammered this to death in your other post. Just stay off ebay if you don't like the sellers shipping terms.

All I know is that for $3 in Canada you can barely send a letter to your neighbour!

So no! I wouldn't expect anything else other than basic shipping on a $3 charge.

$3 to ship is a VERY reasonable cost...

Hey Pacific, You are the one who can't get over it, you keep posting, just let it go, everything will be alright Put down your axe and stop grinding I've already admitted my fallibility in the other thread.

It's just a poll, it's not like the no's are winning by a blow out

If you don't like it, just stay away

We may need another poll to determine what type of stamp should have been used...

You knew the cost up front. You agreed to it. You got your item. Done deal.

Tracking protects the seller not you. If you didn't get it the seller may have immediately refunded you.

To be completely honest, if the seller shipped using the method specified for the specified amount, it's none of your business what he paid. We started using stealth postage many, many years ago just because of buyers like you.

Well, you can beat me up all you want, but plenty of buyers and SELLERS agree with me.

I said no. I'm relatively certain that most of my purchases under $20 have never had tracking.

I'm mentally surprised why so low, and suspect that it's probably just a regular letter (I don't know if regular letters have tracking).
I also expect bad packaging, because anything remotely resembling good packaging would almost certainly end up rigid and probably can't be sent that cheaply.
Rest in Peace

These types of scenarios are all pretty much the same with the following factors. Usually someone with low feedback (under a 100) has never paid more than 50 bucks for a coin in their life and expects gold plated shipping usually FREE if their purchase exceeds ten bucks.
Like pocket change 50 stated in an earlier post best to just keep adding these types of buyers to your best buddies list.
I just checked our best buddies list for fun and since 2001 it is up to just about a 100 painful ebay citizens. Not bad for over 10000 transactions. Only three of them have a feedback rating of over 125.........amazing.
for all who care to know here is a direct comparison of shipping a bubble pack 000 with a single coin ( Canada and US) . We ship from both countries as we are near the US border and have access to the USPS.
#1 In Canada to Canada the cost is $1.80 CAD postage plus the supplies and costs associated. The cheapest tracking for this is plus
$9.00 CAD for registered mail. There is no cheaper method for tracking in Canada.
#2 In the USA the cost is $2.32 for the same item plus the supplies and costs. Cheap Tracking is available for $1.05 at the post office. And to those who say you can print your own true enough you can if you live in the US with a confirmed US address.
We ship all of our US customers items tracked but certainly not for $ 3.00 that is unrealistic.

Do you have any idea of how demeaning, condescending and snarky you sound when you make unsubstantiated assumptions like that? Why don't you just say, "If the bidder has under 100 feedbacks he's probably stupid, not willing to spend much and more trouble than he's worth." ?

Your demeaning comment to me when I mentioned I had over 6700 transactions on ebay over the same period of time was:


Quote:
I see you are not a heavy hitter on ebay.


Where's the break point between your transactions and mine where one becomes a "heavy hitter"?

Referring back to your comment about those worthless types with under 100 feedbacks, you said,

Do me a favor: Please add me to your blocked bidder or best buddy list (whatever you'd like to call it) so that I don't ever make the mistake of ACCIDENTALLY buying something from you.

"Snarky". I like that word.

I was watching letterman one time when he had Jungle Jack Hannah on, and Jungle Jack brought out an anteater, and Letterman said he didn't like it, cause it it was kind of "snarky looking".

You know buyers on here are real quick to say a winning bid is a binding contract when it suits them. But now it's ok to EXPECT something that was never once mentioned in the binding contract and in a transaction went perfectly. Silly. Expectations based on assumptions.

It's a simple poll and the results are almost 50/50. Nobody should sit too far up in an ivory tower on this one, and there's plenty of room for civil discussion. I purposely used USA in the poll for a reason, but it's freedom of speech, and anybody can vote and comment. I had no idea what a hot button topic this would be. I hope we'll all feel better after it's over, I know I will.
