you're tired of "shipping thieves"? is that because you don't know how to add the final value plus shipping charges before you bid? that is about the only scenario in which that statement makes sense.
bottom line is this means more money out of buyers hands into ebay's pockets. but why don't we turn it into ANOTHER conversation about scalping?

If people do add to the shipping, it will just mean you'll pay more on that end to ebay which means you will have to add even more. The break even point may get to such a point that people will be even more reluctant to buy on ebay.
Personally, I'd much rather buy on here and use paypal - but using the "gift" option has burned me on one occassion too. MCAX sounds good, but the prices have been pretty outrageous for shipping there too! (Not on all, but some of the early auctions.) There is no perfect solution except to meet up with someone and pay in person in cash. Everyone tends leave happy then.

ebay has really become a big pain in the ass, the way it was 5 years ago was perfect, over the last years, they have really screwed the sellers, they think its all about the buyer, will if theres no sellers there will be no buyers, i have called ebay so many times over scammers, that lie for partiel refunds and then give me a big neg feedback, even had proof the person was lieing in the feedback, and all ebay did was remove the statemnet made not the shown point, they are always costing us more money and don't do shit for us, let alone, when they limit your items being shown, and they only show your items in a certain region, your item will sell for less, and they still will charge your the same amount in friggin fees, now, i love ebay, but it has got out of hand, an all the bad buyers out there are making it worse, man, i can talk all day about how ebay has screwed me over.

The system that's screwed up is the case system. If a buyer doesn't like what he got, or hasn't received it yet, he can open up a case without contacting me first to deal with the situation. I get those about once every other week. Even if I refund them on the spot, and give them the item for free, I'm still screwed on the open cases percentages. So when people open cases like that they cost me hundreds of dollars a month in sales because ebay will drop the search status on you. But despite all that, it's still worth the hassle. Sure, it was much better five years ago, but as far as international sales go, it's never been better for me so I'll take the headaches that go along with it. But for those of you who aren't breaking even because of these headaches, I totally understand the switch and be right with you if I wasn't breaking even as well. |

Also on that note I just noticed this is ebay's way of pulling a pay pal which already charges you on the total amount including shipping. Yes but actually it's more money out of sellers pockets. |

ebay has been very good to me since i first joined back in 1998 , i have been screwed over so many times its funny, i get the assholes every week doing a case, without emailing me first, i get assholes doing it like 5 days aftyer they win thye auction saying they havei;t got it yet or i'm not emailing them enuff, the partial refunds pricks are what i'm tried of, but what can you do, they really isn't any other way to sell this stuff and get the money we get.ebay knows this.

I hate it when people don't use proper grammar like periods, capitalization or commas to get their point across.
