Help with ebay!
 
Is there anything you can do about people charging super high for shipping in order to make money? For instance I'm bidding on an air filter for $3.99. On ebay all the others for the same filter are like $17.00 or so. Well I'm like good ----. Until I notice hes saying $12.00 to ship to the lower 48 states. Is there anyway I can get around the ownage of bumping up shipping costs? Or do I just have to deal with it?

just go buy the filter from the store. its not worth all that $$ for shipping a filter that weighs as much as a penny.

also guys, remember ebay charges a rediculous final value fee. look at the guy selling rotas for 14 bucks a pair with 400 dollars shipping. he does that to save a good amount of cash....3 percent of 450 is like 15 bucks. 3 percent of 14 bucks is like not even a dollar...

ive done this before. i sold an ecu for 2dollars and shipping was 60. ebay is gay they charge a listing fee, a final value fee, and then u still have to give paypal 3percent, and paypal is owned by ebay! its just a way to get around that ----. :P

yea if you already bought it theres not much you can do man, however if he didnt list a shipping price and then emailed you saying thats gonna be it.. then that is unfair and against policy because it is outrageous. But anyways anyone who needs filters let me know, i get them for cheap and sell them for about 13$ shipped

I just got jacked $11 to ship some silverado clear corners to me by some seller that was about 15 miles down the freeway. I hate fucks like that, so I wait for them to give me good feedback, and then I hit em with a nuetral. I don't think they can reply to nuetrals and it still gets to thier % rating in feedback.
(Clear corners for my lazy friend)
