<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1926351, member: 38849&quot;]Likewise, I include ALL shipping costs in the price.&nbsp; But this happened yesterday -- I bought an item on eBay for $12.50 shipping included.&nbsp; The item arrived at a cost (to the Seller) of $8.75 total.&nbsp; And due to the weight, etc., that was legitimate, although I could have shipped the same goods in a small flat-rate box (with $50 insurance) for $5.80 or about 1/3 less.&nbsp; I have no sympathy for Sellers who don&#039;t do their homework.&nbsp; Plus I have a huge stock of discount postage, for which I have paid 50% to 65% of face value, which helps on MY shipments.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;...<font size="6">I would not bid on a $10 coin with a $5.25 shipping cost</font>...&quot;&nbsp; THIS, of course, is the key.&nbsp; In the U.S., you can mail one or two coins, or maybe 3 small coins, in a heavy duty 5 x 8 cardboard mailer, if you do it right, for 91 cents; 49c first ounce, 21c second ounce, 21c non-machinable fee.&nbsp; But you need to know all the tricks to accomplish a postage cost of 91 cents.&nbsp; Mailers in quantity, about 20 cents each.</p><p><br /></p><p>Going back to the question at hand, I&#039;m not so sure eBay will let you complain about postage if it is clearly stated in the listing, in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
