Default Views on Shipping and handling charges?

Posted By: MikeSchmidt

Lee-

Sounds like you got the shaft in that auction. I typically charge $2- for single cards, $3- for multiple cards, and about $1- each per lot for multiple winnings.

I personally feel that it is appropriate to leave neutral feedback for someone who claims "Buyer pays actual shipping charges", but then charges $6- on an item that has $0.76 in stamps and perhaps a padded envelope.

There are way too many sellers on Ebay (it is not as bad with baseball cards as in other areas) who make their profit margins on the upcharge in postage, and not in the actual item. I guess it's no worse than those TV informerials where you can get the item for four easy payments of $29.99, fully refundable if not satisfied, that is, except for the $25- in shipping and handling you pay!
