Wow, did the price of postage just skyrocket?

This is just terrible.

Shipping

Always read the fine print I guess.

    What a freaking joke! Not even an error coin, as it's been stated before that the edge inscription is random and can be found either way.

    Standard fee avoidance. Report it, if you feel vigilant.

    And if the package gets lost, insurance will only cover the cost of the item...... not shipping.....

    Keeps his ebay fees down too...... a new twist on scammers.... scamming ebay instead of the buyer.....

    It has to be a typo. It's probably 1.10

    Not a new twist. As eBay scams go, this is one of the oldest in the books.

    Just reported them to ebay. Too many scumbags out there. I fear for the niave person thinking they are getting a real error coin then slammed for the postage, it's just wrong on too many levels.

    I sent him the following question - "Why the hight postage? Are you going to hand deliver it?" image

    Yeah, this is nothing new. Just someone wanting to avoid final value fees.

    I don't understand why Ebay is allowing all these auction that state that the upside down lettering are errors. They are not and the sellers are just scamming the uninformed. Wouldn't all those auctions be considered fraudulent if the seller states they are errors?

    1) Not a new twist....things like this are why ebay recently made a new policy about excessive shipping (it's a no-no)
    2) Read his auction...he knows what he is doing. It isn't a typo..."The reason the shipping is so high is so that you can see this first..."

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
