The seller is Broadway Rick's Strike Zone, and there are plenty of other reasons to stay away from anything he sells. |

Probably a mistake as it looks like almost all his single card auctions have a $6 S/H fee attached. |

Purely out of principal, I'd stay from this seller. Apparently he's not concerned about repeat business, or good customer service. It's not a tuff card. Another will turn up soon enough. |

He has 4 1/2 stars for shipping costs. I guess people don't want to leave bad ratings, even if those don't get communicated to the seller. |

I try not to charge too much, and even with the rates going up, I will keep my current shipping prices - I might even have free shipping in the near future. Ebay can be a crazy experience at times |

on a side note ... isn't that a 1940 play ball, not a 1939 as stated in the auction? |

Sure, it's a ridiculous amount for shipping. I don't get upset at eBay shipping charges any more. As with the buyer's premium in other auction forums, I just factor the shipping into the total cost. So if I wanted to pay 30 bucks for this card, I'd bid, say, 19 dollars tops. So it's $19 plus $16 for shipping for a total of $35, figuring 5 bucks for a civil shipping fee. |

I tend to undercharge for shipping, but with the new rates I think I may have to bump them up a notch. |

If you read the feedback coments, you'll see that most of his negatives are from one buyer. Gotta love it when the buyer calls him a "Slubberdegullion seller" and a "Self-righteous Poltroon!" |

I don't see a problem with the shipping charge since he posted it clearly in the auction. If I was to bid on the card I would just bid ten to twelve dollars less than if he had a normal shipping charge. |

Barry, prior to this week any item insured for less than $50.00 would not have a tracking number, starting this week any item up to $200.00 can be tracked. |

The postal clerks were telling me there are so many changes that they actually had a seminar. It got much more complicated for them, which translates into longer lines. |

I just shipped my 1st bubble mailer single card with confirmation since the new rates went up. What cost me about $1.80 now cost me $2.50.....I am a small time pseudo-dealer so it's not that big of a deal...but if I were mailing a whole lot it would be....At least the PO I go to is ran extremely well....and getting back on topic. I agree that if a seller states the shipping charges we should just take that into account in bidding...though it still bugs me when they gouge.....regards |

Standard weight USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation went from $4.55 to $5.25. Guess they camouflaged all the other gouging when they raised stamp prices to .41!! |

Gas prices go up and so does everything else. You guys want to complain? start with the oil companies. |

I seriously can't take this gas price stuff.....who cares? A gentleman I know bitches and bitches about gas prices, and then goes out last weekend and loses about $500.00 at a casino. Plus he drinks like a fish....but boy, those oil companies are rippin' us off. Yeah right.... |

Well if people can bitch about the post office raising their rates why can't I make the observation that costs are rising because it costs more to transport it? Seems pretty simple to me. I'm guessing if you guys had a company that relied on transportation you would just eat the extra cost of rising gas prices??? |

No one, including myself, wants to pay any more than they have to for "anything". Be it gas, postage, property taxes etc. etc. But listening to the media, you'd think that an extra .50 on a gallon of gas is going to cause life on earth to cease. The average gallon of bottled water is something like $6.50. How come no one complaining about this ? (I don't use that either). This is a baseball forum. So I don't want to beat a dead horse, but enough already on high gas prices. A friend in Denmark tells me they pay over $7.50 per a comparitive gallon. |

It's our God given right to bitch. It makes us feel better (don't deny it..)....but lets try to focus it on baseball card stuff.....or things that pertain to them....to me, most of what is being complained about here does in fact relate to it in some way..... |

Bill, if the seller is worried about all the extra cost associated with selling something on eBay, then why not add it into the opening bid or Reserve Price isntead of gouging on Shipping?? It seems like a bait and switch to me. "Here is a card I am willing to sell for $5 dollars but I am going to charge you $10 dollars to mail the thing. Yes, Postage is only $4.60 Priority but the extra $5 dollars helps off set my other costs". |

nobody likes to pay more for anything, myself included. However, if a person feels that shipping costs are excessive on an item, you don't have to bid on the item. If a seller is not getting bids and the shipping price is high, sometimes they change the listing and lower the price of shipping. Nobody has a gun at anyones head forcing them to bid. |
