Shipping Fees

It all depends upon what the item is, how it is being shipped, etc. I can't give you an informed opinion with so little info.

I have moved this to the ebay discussion area.

I'm going to state the obvious.

ebay sellers typically use high s&h fees as a sort of reserve. They do this both to avoid fees and to encourage bidders who look for low opening bids. They also do this to discourage returns.

ebay buyers are usually not taken unawares by s&h fees and instead take them into consideration when determining their maximum bid.

I suspect that you valued the item at $8 when you bid. I also suspect that potential competing bidders did not. I should also add that among some bidders, there is a backlash against unnecessarily high s&h fees. As a result you may have gotten a bargain if others who would have valued the item at $8 or more refused to bid.

you guys are too smart here, that's why I posted it in the main coin forum

of course I'm happy with my purchase..texas hit the nail on the head.

In the main coin forum, the newbies would think that purchase and shipping scenario would be outrageous

You all know better lol

I just don't buy from them. I also send little hate messages every once in a while. Something like, "Does that POS coin really need a police escort?"
