Legendary Auctions

I refrained from bidding on a lower-end card in overtime in this auction because it potentially would have been the only item I won, and I didn't feel like paying $30 shipping on a $300 card.

It got no other bids, so their outrageous shipping charges cost that consignor at least an extra $25.

Well, since these guys aren't called Mastro anymore, they have to make it somewhere instead of shill bids, if they have actually quit that.

I don't get it! I recently paid $13 for one raw card to be shipped to me from one of those big auction house companies that ended last week. Meanwhile I just got 2 '2's' for shipping and handling charges on Ebay for two graded cards. I charged the buyer $3.50 for the first card and .50 cents for the second card, for a grand total of $4.00!!! Now, because of those 2's, Ebay is giving me a hassle, saying that I am a POS seller and threatining to kick me off. Thanks buddy!! You've been blocked permanently!!!! Oh the irony....

I was charged $65 for my shipment. I bought several raw lots and a PSA registry set. It's a bit high, but not horrible.

Is there anything illegal about inflating costs that the USPS set as standard? Is that a type of fraud? Is it legal to make money using the USPS shipping service? Just curious.

It's shipping and handling. It's the handling part that is subjective and can be wildly manipulated .

Ah, I didn't think of the handling. I only thought it could potentially be fraud because if the USPS states insurance costs X amount and you charge Y amount, that may be against some kind of government regulation.

In my experience they don't ship USPS.

We can have the government get right on that - coming up with another regulation. Far too few in my opinion.
