No returns, strike two. Shipping cost - strike three! Edited by ArrowsAndRays 02/05/2012 7:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 02/05/2012 10:01 pm ebay needs to come up with a way to eliminate these fraudulent shipping charges. Thanks for pointing this listing out. Report this Post to the Staff

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5862 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 06:48 am Well, that takes care of ebay missing out on their share, true, but it doesn't help the unsuspecting buyer who doesn't notice the ridiculously high shipping cost. Of course, we all know that it's important to check the shipping costs before bidding, but we also all know that not everybody does since most sellers charge reasonable rates.

ArrowsAndRays Pillar of the Community United States 1662 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 08:00 am The listing is still up. Seller "98centstore" has a $39.00 shipping charge on his 9.99 coin. I reported it, and emailed him too: "Is that a typo?" Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter53562 Pillar of the Community United States 2049 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 08:54 am Fredd is right. ebay charges separate final value fees on the item AND the shipping. As buyers it's our responsibility to look at the entire picture versus just the item price or falling for a "free shipping" gimmick. Even in the ebay sort function, it's listed as a choice to sort by lowest price first but it includes the item price and the shipping price. So if the seller thinks this will get his listing to the top of that search function, he is mistaken. Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 8:42 pm I saw a jewelry seller who rarely got more than $0.11 for anything, usually one cent, but huge mailing costs. No way ebay couldn't know about it, he had thousands of FB going back 9 months. Report this Post to the Staff
