<< <i>No shipping listed anywhere you should have asked. With that said if he doesn't send it overnight I would neg him. >>
Agreed, even if the price is right, I'll skip an auction if they don't respond with the shipping in time. Too many auctions with $50+ shipping.
"hi,
is there any reason why you are asking for $15.00 to ship a coin when you ask $8.00 to ship a picture frame with flyfishing stuff in it?
please reconsider"
Just remember : He can use a very clever positive to paint you in a negative light, as well.

If seller insists shipping is $15, it had better be registered or overnight, otherwise 1 star and a neg is YOUR decision to make.
expect a seller to come back with 5 bucks or under. That is still to high in my book unless it is a coin of value.
It is not reasonable to charge 5 dollars more than the coin is worth to ship it. Pay for the coin and file a excessive shipping charge
dispute with ebay/paypal. If more buyers filed disputes for stupid shipping charges something will be done about it.
I know the seasoned and honest sellers on this board complained when ebay flirted with set shipping charges. Well this is why they
thought of the idea. Idiot sellers raping buyers with 15 dollar shipping for a 10 dollar coin. These sellers will get what they deserve.
Better yet stay off fleabay and support your fellow BST sellers..Post a WTB if you need something and don't see it.
I am going to give kudos to a forum member for their morals and ethics. I posted a thread for Canadian Maples. My buy price was 20 dollars shipped.
Cartwheel sent me this----two silver Maple Leafs; $35 delivered.
Please take a look at my sale ad:

How's that for being an honest seller..Offers to sell me what I need for 5 bucks under what I was willing to pay....
Sounds like excissive shipping fees that could be reportable.

If you look at his feedback, you will see he is getting a 4.5 for shipping charges. Remember, some people also charge for the time it takes to package an item if it is fragile.
What gives?

Well there you go teddy...Your paying the extra 13 dollars for him to place the Frankie in the envelope..I can't believe you are not willing to
pay 13 dollars for that type of handling.......

<< <i>The charges are for ink, paper, licking the envelope, tape, handling, the time it takes to print, cost of gas to run to Office Depot, a cup of coffee on the way because how fair would that be to the seller to not have this included ?... Lest we forget the time it took to list the item, photograph it and catalogue it ?

Joe you are one of the most honest members I know..I would gladly pay you 15 dollars to ship my coins....
the seller came back with $5 or $8. insured
i can deal with that
<< <i>Too many auctions with $50+ shipping >>
For those who may not have seen the small print at the bottom of each auction there is a link
<< <i> Report this item >>
and it has pull downs for excessive shipping charges.
Although it has been a quite while since I myself have seen any. I have seen them in the past and wish I had known about the link.
"If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around to hear it. Am I still wrong?"
I'll second that!!!
I just don't get that.
As for using the time for the work to add to the "handling" charges......you all are lucky that you aren't paying MY rate (or that of other members' if they had their pay broken into hourly....) you would think that $15 was a bargain
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
