There is discussion on some of the ebay community
boards about this. A
lot of the power sellers try to justify it various ways. As for myself,
I always begin my descriptions with a big line that mentions actual
shipping charges only and no excessive fees. Whether or not that helps
remains to be seen. I have bypassed many an auction because the shipping
and bogus handling fees were not acceptable for the item sold.
Some sellers are certainly out of line but then again, packing an item
well can take a lot of time. It sometimes takes me 2 hours to pack a
rather large item or a bunch of small items. Charging only the actual
shipping costs can sometimes mean you take a big hit.
But with a manual? C'mon.
