My turn to whine about an AH - Saco River

[Buythatcard]

I agree that AH's should disclose up front what the S/H fees are. Then we can decide whether it's worth bidding at their site. If they post the fees upfront, then we have no right to complain.

There are more than enough AH's out there now. We can pick and choose who treat us fairly.

The Effective Buyer's Premium was created to quantify these whines.

Wouldn't it be nice if the AH used such a method before the auction closed?

Frank,

I love the EBP formula. AH's should be using this.

So, instead of the already too high 20% BP that we now see, they would be stating a EBP of 25% - 30% or much higher.

One day when I have some spare time, I am going to calculate the EBP's that I have paid over the past year. Luckily, I have copies of every receipt.

I'm new to the whole AH thing - never used one. Is there a reason the shipping prices aren't disclosed up front?
