Default new eBay scam, sorta

Posted By: jay behrens

Dan, if you've read all the thread then you know that I said "scam, sorta" knowing that it's not a scam in classic sense. It's also been pointed out in this thread that it is against eBay policy to to have a surcharge if you use PayPal or a credit card as well as against the law in numerous states. So yes, I, and many others, have a problem people trying to get around the law.

Personally, I'd take advantage of the free shipping, but I know there are many people like myself that skim auctions and occasionally miss the shipping charge. I made the post so that no one ends up buying something from one of these sellers and suddenly finds out that they have a $15 shipping charge a card on a $15 card.
