Is this true?

I was scouting Feebay earlier today and ran across an auction where the seller had a $200.00 shipping fee. I made a statement to him on the possibility that he may be nuts and that such a shipping fee would cause people to question the grades that he claimed his coins to be.

Following is his response: "Ebay charges the seller for the bid amount and not the shipping. I don't see that as being nuts."

Would this work, charging a high shipping fee knowing that bidders would deduct that amount from their bid thereby reducing the final value fees yet allowing the item to bring a full sale price?

No, don't report him. Don't do EBay's work for them, you won't get paid. They guy is only trying to deal with those annoying price raises of late. I wouldn't do anything like that in my auctions, but I sure do sympathize with him!

I could see how useful such a system would be for people who sell overgraded coins with a return privilege, but don't refund shipping costs.
