.....first thing I did once I got back from vacation. This loser wanted to ding my shipping charges because I charge $3.50 for the first card and 50 cents for the 2nd card!!! He paid a total of $4.00 for two cards!!!!!!!!!! So I got two dings from him!!! I don't know how much he expected shipping to be?? Obviously he doesn't get anything from Legendary, Heritage, Hunt Auctions, etc.

Nothing much to say about old beaner1. Just your typical star dinger. He's been blocked. I recommend blocking these two clowns, lest you want Ebay to give you a hassle.

<< <i>Why do you continue to be shocked by the same things happening over and over again? Do we really need another thread about this? >>
Apparently you don't, but a lot of members actually appreciate it when I do this. Most don't know how to figure out the reports to run to figure out the star dingers. I do all the hard work for them. A lot of people value their stars, especially when a negative aspect of them affects their livelihood. You don't appreciate it - I get it. Most do though...so I do this for them. Not for you.

Weren't you going to consign all your auctions to Probstein anyway? What happened to that?

<< <i>I can understand a buyer feeling as if $3.50 is over charging for a single card, but if they agree to purchase the card, they're agreeing to the terms and shouldn't be able to ding shipping price stars. >>
100% agree. I just paid Hunt Auctions $12 to ship exactly ONE ungraded card!! $3.50 to ship one graded card and $4.00 to ship two graded cards, is IMHO a MORE THAN FAIR price!!! There is no shipping gouging whatsoever. Along time ago on Ebay, sellers would gouge on shipping left and right. Charging $10-$15 when in actually, it cost them $2. Nowadays, sellers value their customers more than that to try and gouge them on shipping. Yet they get dinged anyway. And yes, I will continue to hunt those buyers out and block them from bidding on my stuff. I don't have the time or patience for vengeful customers.
<< <i>I can understand a buyer feeling as if $3.50 is over charging for a single card, but if they agree to purchase the card, they're agreeing to the terms and shouldn't be able to ding shipping price stars. >>
Not necessarily. I might agree to the terms and conditions, and then when I see how it was shipped, I realize that the seller made money off the shipping charge, like bobby does.
<< <i>There is no shipping gouging whatsoever. >>
You would be hard-pressed to show actual costs of $3.50 to ship one card. $1.93 and $.04 are the obvious basic costs. Finding another $1.53 is quite a task. Just be honest and say that you make a little off the shipping. No one blames you. It just looks bad when you claim "no gouging whatsoever".
<< <i>Bubble Mailer.....bubble wrap used to wrap around the card.......shipping label......actual postage. I am sorry, but $3.50 is not unreasonable at all. If you look at the two biggest sellers on Ebay (PWCC & Probstein), they actually charge more!!! Like I said....I just paid $12 for one single ungraded card. $3.50 for a graded card is the norm. Amazon charges $3.99 to ship one single CD. >>
I hope that wasn't to me, because I never said it was unreasonable. But YOU said there is NO gouging whatsoever. You listed things that cost a few pennies each. There's no way it actually costs you $3.50. Quit using hyperbole.
<< <i>$3.50 when it costs actually $2.89 >>
Thank you. "no gouging whatsoever". My work here is done.
You've proven to me it's not worth me raising my s/h fees with all your heart ache and frustration at $3.50.
I would suggest charging $2.95 and your problems will disappear.
Good luck, either way.
<< <i>The stupid thing about this system is that in most cases the buyer should know what he is going to pay for shipping before they decided to buy. If he sees $3.50 for 1st card, $.50 for 2nd card prior to deciding to buy it's ridiculous that he can then ding you for shipping charges. >>
+1
If you you are bidding to win an auction you should be aware of the shipping fees and complain about it later!!
<< <i>Thank you. "no gouging whatsoever". My work here is done. >>
If you consider .66 cents 'gouging', then I suggest you break out a Webster's dictionary and look up the term 'gouging', so you can grasp a better idea as to what it means.

Thanks for the tip. Now back to the latest bobbyw emotional rant.

Running reports to determine who dinged your stars is not allowed. Like it or not, dinging stars is allowed. Maybe you're the bad guy?
If you're so concerned about your star, you should just ship for free so that no one can ding it.

<< <i>So....when I buy a card from a seller who charges $3.50 or more to ship ME a card, then I am perfectly in my right to ding them on shipping and handling after I win the card via auction???? Sounds good. However, I am not an a**hole. I am not going to do that. #1 - I won the card - I agreed to whatever price the card was shipping for win I won it via auction. #2 - I am not going to jeopardize someone's livelihood because I am a jerk. $10 to ship one card - sure, I can ding that. $3.50 when it costs actually $2.89? That is me being an a**hole...... >>
Bobby, I agree, you are not an a-hole. You are, however, a bit of a crybaby.

+1. I always factor shipping into my bid. If a card is worth $15 to me I'll bid that if there's free shipping. If bobby is charging $3.50, my max bid will be $11.50 . As long as you look at it as a total cost, and you're comfortable with that total, there's no reason to ding.

Sup Matt?
I buy my bubble mailer's from Office Depot and they cost over $1 a piece. With first class shipping now over $2.00 and delivery confirmation or tracking $1.05, a card saver $0.08 and bubble wrap at least $0.25 per package there are plenty of sellers who are losing money at $3.50.
I charge $3.99 and it is worth every penny.

And David....if you are charging $3.99, have you gotten the S&H dingers yet?
<< <i>Letting others know who are Star Dingers is a complaint? Ok?? Others are appreciative. The silent majority is. Only the trolls complain and moan. You don't have to open the thread you know.
And David....if you are charging $3.99, have you gotten the S&H dingers yet? >>
Nope. I don't sell all of the time like many on here but you get what you pay for. I ship in less then 24 hours of receiving payment and I take great pride in my packaging. It sends a message to buyers that I care about the condition your card is going to come in.
If they are raw they will be shipped in between cardboard in a card saver and wrapped in bubble wrap and if graded they are heavily wrapped in bubble wrap and both ways come inside a DVD bubble mailer. I provide tracking as soon as they are shipped and leave feedback right away.
I also combine shipping for free and in many cases a buyer wins a few items and gets them all shipped for $3.99.
There are a lot of sellers that have terrible shipping supplies and think cutting corners and keeping costs low are a better way. The condition of trading cards is in many cases what differentiates the value so paying extra special attention to the care in which the cards are shipped is paramount.

Buyers don't care about shipping costs as long as a) the card arrives undamaged and b) they didn't pay too much more than actual postage to ship it. You can talk about how much care you take in packaging but at the end of the day, buyers really don't care about any of that, and if you charge $4.00 to ship a card, you are going to get dinged if you sell long enough. Personally, I don't find $3.50 exorbitant by any means, but many buyers on ebay are not as reasonable a guy as I am, and those are the ones that are going to ding you noi matter how much love you spend on packaging.

PS - $4 wasn't one card. $4 was two cards. I would LOVE to pay $4 to get graded cards shipped to me. I just paid 3 invoices from various auction houses. $12 was to Hunt Auctions for ONE ungraded card!! The other two were just as high, but the Hunt Auctions one just stood out for me.

Perhaps one day I will sell you a card and you will see why I don't get dinged. It is easy to see I am not making money on the shipping.

By your own admission, though, you sell far fewer cards than many sellers here, so your sample size is limited. I guarantee you that if you sold as many cards as Bobby does and charged $4 a card to ship, you'd encounter the same issue that prompted him to start this thread. It's just a matter of time. (And you have already gotten lower ratings for shippiing charges, as your other 3 star ratings are 5.0 while your shipping rating is 4.9.) Like I said, there are going to be buyers who don't care how much care you take in packaging their card when they ding your star rating. That is just life on ebay. And paying over $1 for a padded envelope is far too much in any case. You can get those same mailers for much less in bulk. Do you think a star-dinging buyer like the ones Bobby posted about in his OP are going to care if you don't sell that many cards and that's why you overpay for your mailers at Office Depot? Unfortunately, the answer to that question is no.
