Regardless, since I don't purchase from either one anyways, the fees won't affect me. I was just wondering when fees got so high stateside or are these businesses/companies free to charge whatever it is they want now all disguised as insurance fees? Are insurance fees really that high now on X number of dollars/value?

Global shipping any cheaper? I've had buyers asking me to opt out so probably not. I like that once I ship, it's out of my hands though.

Personally, I have never seen an increase with shipping fees the higher the price of a card goes. We are not talking about $1000.00 dollar + cards here, usually ones well under $2-$300 hundred dollars.

They are estimating what the card might go for when they list the shipping fees. Ebay doesn't allow you to revise your item to fiddle your stated fee once it has a bid on it. Global shipping program may be different. I don't use it, but It's possible Ebay calculates VAT and other taxes into the fee when calculating and may take the next price bid up when listing that shipping cost. If there is a stated shipping fee, nobody makes money on Ebay gouging on shipping (except for maybe Ebay). Ebay takes a bigger cut of the shipping fee then they do for the actual item, for most bigger sellers, not even mentioning the cut Paypal takes. International shipping charges and the ramifications of lost packages to those sellers have been escalating out of control the last several years. With the coming trade war, it's not going to get any better. |

You may want to check out the COMC mailbox service. It gives you a US address to ship stuff to and then COMC can ship everything to you at a pretty reasonable flat rate. They have a warehouse in Redmond (Seattle area) and one in Canada, so I believe they move your cards to the Canadian location and ship them.

Swarmee (John) has told me this before but I have never taken advantage of it. Going forward, once I can get back into collecting on a regular basis again, I am going to look into this more thoroughly.

Probstein shp chgs
Sorry for another rant, but I am compelled to chime in with my Probstein fee story. Once won just over 100 slabs from a mid '60's set break on eBay. Mostly in the $10 to $30 ea. range.
His chg was was $96..........almost a buck a slab. Packed in one lg. flat rate box which cost him less than $20. Uninsured. Only Sign req'd which is a few bucks. I req'd he lower chg and be reasonable. His response was eBay dictated as could not create one invoice.... BSer extraordinaire |
