That is incorrect. The rule actually is that the seller cannot specifically charge more for using those services than if you didn't. For example, you cannot say in your auction that payments via Paypal will incur a $1.00 processing fee. (Just as Paypal will not allow you to deny or charge more for credit card payments.) Conversely, you cannot offer a $1.00 discount to those who choose to use a different method other than Paypal. You are also not allowed to readjust the final price + s&h to cover your ebay fees, but you can most certainly precalculate a reasonable amount to include in your s&h. This is how that rule works according to ebay.
They will also enforce the excessive shipping rule in cases when the price of the item is obviously included in the shipping. For example, you buy an DVD pack for 99 cents, but pay $28 in shipping. I'm not trying to defend any particular amount sellers may choose to charge. I don't buy from sellers that are obviously gouging on the back end. I don't particularly buy from sellers that don't charge shipping. I make a decision based on total price. My point is that buyers don't need to know how their money is allocated. If a buyer agrees to the charges, then they have no room to complain, unless the seller somehow changed the terms. Hey, if the seller wants to use the money I paid to buy themselves an Egg McMuffin on the way to the post office, I don't care. The price I paid was what I felt the item is worth, as if I just handed the cash to someone right in front of me. The way ebay is now skewed toward the "angry buyer" instead of "pleasant mutual transactions" is the reason I stopped selling on there a while ago. |

Your next point is the whole point: if you don't like the terms of a contract, just don't enter into it, but the pissing and moaning about it is stupid. Leaving negative FB for an honest seller who discloses terms upfront is even worse.

I agree only real D bags.... now the shipping price, bid and pay on the item then leave feedback, positive, but still throwing shipping was a bit high Jab..... JUST DONT BID on the ITEM, People forget theat GAS and buyting the boxes, PADDING and all the other items to ship DOES cost cash...and living in Cali, where the cost of Living is higher than the rest of the COuntry, minus NY, the prices are not that unreasonable.... People want to charge only for the cost of the Stamp...and loose money on the box the padding and gas they used to get it sent... Go toake there money... as they must have plenty of it to just give it to guys like the one who is complaining about high shipping prices....

Yes, because it's not a subjective argument, it's just simple fact -sellers charge handling fees to cover extra expenses including time, and to pad the bottom line.

when I sold on ebay back in the day I would look at others auction with the same items and look at shipping cost and go little cheaper to hope mine would sell fast and for more than theirs. also now ebay has that star system or what ever it is now that can lower your rating which can cause you to lose what little discounts ebays do give you. Ebay is now a buyers place not the sellers with the feedback I hope they change it back,then I might get back on there

I just offer to email a prepaid label from UPS to the seller, and most are happy with that.
They just have to put the label on the box and drop it off. |
