I have seen most of the shipping supplies in wal-mart very cheap. Driving to post office is a excuse cause if it take me 2 weeks to get from NYC you didn't go right away. But I guess that is the reason i avoid ebay unless buying a lot cause rarely is one figure worth it.

The shipping is a little high but hey, you have to do what you have to do for the figures you can't find. I paid close to 40 dollars for flint and snake eyes/timber...

Well for me it was the opposite.. I paid $10 for shipping and it cost the seller $22 to mail it priority mail from Cedar Rapids to California.. althought it was 2 Transformers Jazz and Starscream still in box. |

I just sold some joes these past few weeks. I charge 6.25 in state for usps usually priority, but i state first class just in case its only 1 figure. My listing fees are 0.85, my final value fee is usually another 0.35 and then paypal almost always takes $1 when the buyer pays with credit card. so now thats almost $2.50 in fees, and shipping is 4.60 for priority which is about $7 all said and done. Not including bubble wrap and the 10 minute drive to the post office, but also the drive to and from the different stores. I'm not saying that it is right to get jammed with ebay shipping fee's but people need a reason to sell on ebay. I charge 6.25 but my next few figures im going to have to up the charges most likely. I have trouble breaking even if im selling a new joe at retail.. which usually sells for 5.99 or 6.49 .. nothing to be made really.

Hi just won 4 figures from this guy in Taiwan (a0922802596). I saw the shipping was $9.9 for 1 figure and I was going for it expecting that the shipping would be less with more then 1 figures. Requested the total from him and he sent $39 of shipping with a $4 discount making it $35 to ship 4 figures. I can accept the trouble of only shipping one figure and that sometimes this is just to make you buy more then 1 figure. But I was expecting something like $1 or $2 for each additional figure. He is almost charging $9.99 for each. I even checked the Taiwan PO and I found that for me at max shipping would be less then $14. Ok he has fees, boxes, tapes this should always be taken into account so ok at max $20 but $35!!? Besides this I sent him already 1 mail, 1 msg at ebay and another email which returned back saying his email box was canceled or something and no answer from the guy. I will risk a negative feedback but no way I'm paying $35 for shipping 4 loose figures.

I'm in Portugal so I have to pay shipping always either from US, China etc.... But this is too much. The website of Taiwan PO doesn't have anything there for prio shippings. Only one option parcel. Then it gives you several countries and weights. The $14 is for 500 g to 1 Kg and I doubt it will be more then 500g but ok I'm giving the worst case scenario. Sent another mail a while back and guess what his yahoo account is suspended.

No problem if that is the charge listed on box . But if I pay 39.99 for shipping four figure and box says 10.00 then you are getting jerked.

I know the guy who bought it.
He lives in Portugal. He isnt able run down to Walmart and buy the new stuff when it comes out. Hell, I think the 25th figures are going for about 10.00 a pop in the UK, so this is probably a pretty good deal. Also, like I said, I know this guy. He's not an idiot. |
