Anyone here done business with Chris Long Management?

First of all, don't have those in my neighborhood. And even if I did, I would never leave anything of value in a curbside mailbox with a red flag up to alert passersby that something was in their waiting to be stolen.

But, putting aside the mileage costs, do you think the seller in your transaction should be solely responsible for the ebay and paypal fees? And, if so, why?

I do think some shipping charges seem too high, but if it's clearly stated in the auction or BIN, and you choose to bid on the item or BIN, then there is no reason to be upset, IMO. You chose to participate and hoped to win, knowing what the seller was charging for shipping.

I'm not siding with what the seller charges for shipping, just the fact that you knew what he was charging and still chose to bid.

Good point on the red flag. I have pickups at my house occasionally but leave a note in the mailbox for my mail person to come to the front door to pick the boxes up.........and only when I am home already.

As a seller, I see Ebay and Paypal fees as a cost of doing business on my end. I DO get annoyed when I am told I also should be covering more of the general S&H charges myself or somebody e-mails me and tells me that they can ship so and so for a buck..........so I should be able to also.

Overall, my goal is to break even in that area each month........and I usually fail miserably at it.
