I had a perfect 5.0 on my shipping charges star until some guy complained after he won about shipping charges even though they were listed in the auction. It was for a vintage magazine (which btw can NOT be shipped via media mail). I charged a whopping $3 to ship the magazine and he still hit me on the shipping star. I've since blocked him from bidding on my auctions.

When I'm buying if the shipping is high I just take notice and see how they ship it to me...some guy recently sent me an autographed photo which he charged me $6 shipping on and sent it in an envelope with no protection at all which cost him $1.30. I gave positive feedback, but ripped him on his shipping star.

There's a thread about millions, and a thread about four bucks. Lol, it's all about fairness!

I would probably charge $3.00 to ship the card, so $4.00 is ok. I actually like to ship priority mail, safer in the hard cardboard box. Myself, I don't mind paying a little more for safe shipping.

Dan, why can't a vintage magazine be shipped Media Mail? I have done that many times. Maybe I am breaking some rules.

Strange...I just got an old CPU (if you remember this, you have been collecting a long time) and it was shipped media mail...btw, a '52 Mantle could have been had for $800 in vg and a '41 Ted Williams for $75!

As to Frank's problem...the question was fair...I got a package about a month ago postage due after I paid $4.50 s/h. It was in a bubble mailer with one stamp and I ended up paying $1 and change to get the envelope. When I email the seller for a refund of shipping he told me that I could not prove it...I sent him a scan of the front of the envelope. He sent several nasty emails which I ignored...I then gave him neutral feedback and one star on shipping and will not buy from him again...

If I recall...

It is against the law to overcharge and make a profit on shipping costs.

Negative, it's about the difference between $4 and the guy's actual shipping cost.
