BruesoThe big postage and handling fees are always a red flag. Particularly when it's a high end auction, the idea that someone feels the need to drain a couple of extra dollars just amazes me.
I just put my first sell auctions out on e-bay (nothing anyone here would be interested in or I would've mentioned it in the buy/sell thread) and I'm charging $2.60 for first class postage including insurance. I may be losing out on another 50 cents or a dollar I could've charged (could've made insurance extra), but that's such a small amount of $$, I prefered to come up with something that is actually close to what my out of pocket will be. Throwing in insurance is more for my protection than the buyers- I want to make some attempt to keep away the "I didn't get it- give me my money back" crowd.
