Do you leave negative feedback for excessive shipping?

The $3.50 charge is fully disclosed prior to purchasing the item. The additional cost for shipping cards above that is $.10 per item.

eBay taking $.35 per shipping charge which is something that is unable to be passed on to the consumer.

eBay also charges to list each item and Paypal charges to sell each item.

I think we found you one right here in this thread.

Hey, Weeping Willow, err, I mean Jolly Elm, how about sharing your eBay ID here so that several of us can block you?

Listen, Sean. You can charge whatever the hell you want for shipping. I've bought quite a lot from you off of ebay. No problem. My 'objection' is you adding your marketing expenses to your list in your first post. Tape and envelopes are specifically a part of a buyer's expense to get something shipped. Paying for your business cards is an operating expense and has nothing to do with the actual mailing.

I understand your point of view. I respectfully disagree.

Any way we look at it this is a matter of a few cents and washes out.

I didn't add in label cost, the $.05-$.10 eBay cost to get the item up, or the $.30+2.9% Paypal fee. At the end of the day the only entity winning on shipping cost is eBay/Paypal.
