<p>[QUOTE="EagleEyed, post: 54676, member: 3261"]This person is thinking that if they start an auction at 99 cents and have a shipping/handling fee that is what they REALLY want the auction to start at, they will end up paying ebay a percentage of a couple of bucks rather than a percentage of over a hundred bucks.

I would not bid on such an auction because now I know the seller is not an honest person, and if they are willing to rip ebay, I bet they are willing to rip a bidder off as well. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
