The one thing that's really put me off of buying
anything on eBay (unless it's something I REALLY want) are the shipping and handling
charges. They are automatically calculated these days by eBay, and they always seem
ridiculously high.
The fees that are calculated are based on the volume discount the seller
has. Tiny sellers like me don't count, and I get the same as taking the
thing to a UPS store and paying thru the nose.
The "volume" crap sellers get discounts that drop the fees for them.
I always disable that crap, and state in the body of the sale that costs
are actual, not what ebay will give me.
