Wow -- what a shipping charge!

$20.00 for "Standard flat rate shipping service" on this 1928 Saint.

Oh, and that does NOT include insurance. Pay with cashier's check or money order and you get a "bargain" at $11 shipping with insurance.

A hidden surcharge for PayPal?

Yes, but it is only $1.50 for each additional item.

It is pretty obvioius the seller is trying to compensate for eBay fees.

Actually, if I'm buying a nice $20 saint, and the seller wants to charge $5 shipping plus $6 insurance.....I don't think I would mind.

With insurance, I think $11 is a borderline reasonable charge for a $500ish coin. But that's not the point.

The auction said $20 PLUS insurance...but it's $11 only if you pay by cashier's check or money order. To me that's a stealth PayPal surcharge. Insurance on this item will run around $7 (or a total of $27 if paying by other means). So in reality what they're saying is that while they accept PayPal, it will cost you an extra $16 or so in shipping. I don't care, really -- I think my AU-58 Saint blows this one away from what I can see -- but my search found this one and I thought it intriguing after drilling into it.

There's a seller who knows how to keep the bids low.

$5 if you pay with a check or mo + $6 insc
or
$20 if you pay with paypal + $2 optional insc if you want it.
or
some kind of shipping charge + $2.00/$50, $3.00/$100 worth and $1.00 added for every $100/worth after that if you pay before invoice is sent.
unless
You're an international buyer then you have to email for cost.

I'm so confused. (scratches head)
