Laughable ebay shipping charge...

BlackBeard · June 28, 2007 12:53AM

This guy is constantly circumventing ebay fees. I guess they are OK with it as I've reported him and they never do anything. All auctions are at .99 cents. This item could ship for a couple bucks max. This auction is fairly obvious, shipping is listed at the bottom in seller instructions.

Tootawl · June 28, 2007 12:55AM

$75!!!

<< $75!!!

That's why he feedback record is at 97%.

JoeLewis · June 28, 2007 12:59AM

I just reported him as well.

And, he's at 3.1/5 for shipping charges.

Another report

ilikebuffaloes · June 28, 2007 1:26AM

In a couple of his negative feedbacks, he responds that the item is being shipped from Russia, yet he claims to be in TX.

I'm really surprised that people even bid on his stuff!

kkce · June 28, 2007 1:38AM

He has his shipping charges buried at the bottom. Most Ebay bidders read the item description and stop at the terms. This seller is counting on the fact that most people don't read the shipping prices. I
I've gotten burned on Ebay once or twice for that myself.

Even if it was coming from Russia, that's excessive. I bought a set of Guinness ornaments that came from Germany and didn't pay even close to that in shipping and there were 4 packed in a fairly large box. Insured to boot because they were glass. This would make sense if he planned on shipping via Concord

I agree! I shipped antique pottery to Austrailia and it didn't cost that much! Those 5 gal paint buckets from Home Depot are great for shipping (the new ones of course, not the ones that have paint in them)!

someone's trying to trick you!

oildvr · June 28, 2007 2:03AM

I also sent a report- His feedback has lots of buyers complaining about shipping chares

DennisH · June 28, 2007 2:08AM

Reported!

rec78 · June 28, 2007 2:08AM

Some of his auctions are from Isla de Cabras, united states.
. link. Isla de Cabras is in Puerto Rico

RareBronzeCollector · June 28, 2007 2:17AM

outrageous

RareBronzeCollector · June 28, 2007 2:19AM

Outrageous!!!!

I wonder what he would charge if something sold for a HIGH price and the buyer insisted on REGISTERED MAIL (He seemed adamant about Priority Insured)....

RareBronzeCollector · June 28, 2007 2:21AM

and the information is inaccurate too.....

kkce · June 28, 2007 2:24AM

His older auctions were all private. Anytime a seller keeps the item and the bidders private, that's a red flag to avoid as he probably sells reproductions and counterfeits and doesn't want a savvy bidder to alert anyone they are getting scammed. I buy my antique glassware on Ebay. Lots of bad sellers out there trying to sell reproduced items as vintage or old. This guy should be used as the poster child for who to avoid in the Ebay University course.

Do these reports actually get anywhere on Ebay? I've reported a few sellers selling reproductions as genuine and they are still out there selling their reproductions with misleading descriptions. I have one negative on my feedback for calling one seller on her deceptive practices and I left a Neutral not negative because dumb me didn't check my book before bidding and bought the repro. It's sitting on my kitchen counter to remind me to be more careful. She came back and called me the "worst ever" on Ebay. She's still out there selling junk. Many reports filed on this seller. And even if they do get some sanction from Ebay, the just re-register with another name and carry on the same scam.

instead of NOT BIDDING.....

i'm gonna go tell mommy.

biggest bunch of cry baby snitches i have ever seen.

You are kidding, right?

BlackBeard · June 28, 2007 2:34AM

If you check his other auctions, he lists everything for .99 cents and adjusts the shipping charge to compensate for the items worth. Most are tokens and would cost the same to ship but the shipping costs range from $2.99 to $75.00. Seems like ebay would be able to figure this out pretty easily. The last time I reported I noticed most didn't sell so they probably did the math and it's better to collect the listing fees for fifteen items and give up the one or two final value fees that do sell. I've seen this happen before on a Chinese seller. If most were selling they would be pulled in a heartbeat.

It's all about the dollar.

Actually, I was never interested in any of his items. Something popped up in an unrelated search. Sounds like you have a simular set of operating procedures to his.

Edit: typo

That's sad.

Before calling people "cry baby snitches" you may want to check your morals. Some of us would like to live in an honest society, and people that are out to scam other people are a threat to that.

Scammers, manipulators, and cheaters get no sympathy from me. I will report them every time I catch them. It is my duty as an honest citizen.

sonoranmonsoon · June 28, 2007 2:56AM

Ebay pulled it. They do not like people attempting fee avoidance. This ussually ends up with a short suspension also.

BlackBeard · June 28, 2007 2:59AM

They only pulled the $75 one, there are still ones with $19 shipping on a token. I guess that's the acceptable overcharge for ebay shipping.

ORDERLY! ORDERLY! 13Paces is off his medication again; and make sure you tighten his straps down, we don't need another outburst like this!

ModernCrapNut · June 28, 2007 3:16AM

I've seen it before on threads where we are reporting overcharging for shipping. He can feel free to block me from his ebay auctions.

JoeLewis · June 28, 2007 3:22AM

Yeah, it's funny when people like him accuse reporters of being "cry babies." I think it's pretty obvious who the "cry baby" is in that situation!
