Sales tax
Also it looks like Heritage is charging sales tax even for bidders in states where they don't have offices, which is unusual in my experience for an auction house. Maybe an explanation of that would be possible...

I did not get charged sales tax (LA). Shipping for my one item was $17 but I figured it would be a little more because of it being an uncut strip of cards (fairly long).
There is actually a breakdown of all shipping charges on their site - http://sports.ha.com/c/shipping.zx My item was: Up to $99 is $5.15 (base service) In the item description it tells you what type of additional requirements there are to ship: Trading Card Set or Notebook, Large is $12.10 first item + $4.85 per additional item So mine was $5.15 (base) + $12.10 (additional) = $17.25 (exactly what I was charged for shipping) Last edited by ZachS; 08-14-2015 at 11:33 AM.

That's fine, and I actually really like that they are willing to put the estimated shipping in writing, which I think all auction houses should, but a single graded card falls under their category "Trading Card Set or Notebook, Large" at $12.10 extra? If that's the case, what items would fall under "Trading Card Set, Medium $4.85 first item + $1.30 per additional item" or "Trading Card Set, Small $1.30 first item + $0.70 per additional item" or better yet "Sportscard $1.30 first item + $0.45 per additional item"?

"To be fair, whenever I'm out of packing supplies, I win an auction at Heritage. A single card will come wrapped in about $50 worth of bubble wrap and at least a couple of envelopes."
+1 Cheers, Mike

Winning bids (2 lots): $510.00
Invoice total: $676.01 That works out to 33% for the buyer's premium + sales tax + shipping + handling. Mind you, I fully accept the buyer's premium and the sales tax, but they're still charging me about $35 more to ship something that I'd put in a small flat rate priority box for $5.95. The penny at the end is just adding insult to injury.

I won one card (the Tango Eggs Jennings, which is probably now the prettiest card in my collection despite its technical grade!), and had misread the shipping information. I hadn't realized that steps 2 and 3 got added together to get to a $19.30 shipping charge for one card.
I'm still unclear why a single graded card counts as "Trading card set or notebook, large" rather than "Trading card set, medium" which would be $7.50 cheaper. The paranoid part of me thinks it's because Heritage added a free book to my order, which would make the entire package much larger than the one graded card and potentially more notebook-sized. It also makes the book not all that "free." Congrats on the successful auction, Leon! I suspect that some of the grousing about things like shipping etc. is because your amazing collection attracted a lot of us who had bid in very few auctions outside of eBay in the past (I won my first non-eBay item earlier this month...), and just got a few little surprises on the back end. =) Morrie Last edited by unamuzd1; 08-14-2015 at 11:45 AM.
