"I do not want drama in getting this card to you."

What's worse? The statement by the seller of a 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 4 that he "does not want drama in getting this card to you" or his response to a request for an explanation that "it means I want you to pay the cost for USPS Certified Shipping, so that we both have piece of mind. I buy expensive cards too, and demand the package be tracked. You should take it as a good thing. I am not here to play games..."

If one is not crazy as a loon when starting an EBAY selling-stint,
they will be prior to concluding the journey.

Recently, Lorrie Norrington, President, eBay Marketplaces, perhaps
the second most powerful EBAYer, demonstrated that no person
is immune to the insanity that plagues sellers.

In an effort to show her empathy for sellers, Lorrie told a story about
having "sold a pair of shoes" on EBAY.


First telling:

"The designer shoes were a gift from a friend, and I sold them on EBAY."

Second telling, a few hours later:

"I bought the wrong size shoes and decided to sell them on EBAY."


A review of her actual listing showed that she had failed to disclose
that she was an EBAY employee in the listing's body-copy. This
would be a firing offense, for ANY other EBAY employee.

Clearly, selling on EBAY turns folks into sociopathic creatures that
cannot tell truth from fiction and are driven to say anything that
pops into their head. Further, such commerce causes a total loss
of any inhibition against rule-breaking.

EBAY is a dangerous venue.

$6 for standard flat rate shipping? There is no need to worry about possible drama if the seller did the right thing with the $6 shipping charge. I charge $6 as well BUT it is to cover the cost of priority mail delivery with delivery conformation which ussually runs about $5.50- my buyers get the package in 2-3 days with no headaches and zero hassles. The seller is a moron.

The only drama here is the sellers. Just indicate what you want for shipping and describe why you have chosen that service and let the buyers decide if they want to bid. In my experiece the cost of sending the package Registered/Insured (Based on the End of Auction Sale) may actually be more than $6.00 anyway it might actually be a bargain for the buyer.
