<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1498532, member: 37498&quot;]I think this whole shipping thing is getting blown out of proportion.&nbsp; The only circumstance where it c<i>ould </i>matter is in the event of returning the item if the seller&#039;s return policy states he won&#039;t refund shipping expenses.&nbsp; But in the case of a Buyer Protection claim, FeeBay refunds the total cost, including shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, here&#039;s an example.&nbsp; What if a guy lists a circulated $10 bill with no numismatic value?&nbsp; I&#039;d be willing to pay up to $9.99 for it.&nbsp; He has a return policy that states he&#039;ll accept returns but that he will not refund the shipping expense.&nbsp; It still doesn&#039;t matter to me if he lists it for $9.99 with free shipping, or $0.01 with $9.98 shipping.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because if the item is as advertised, it&#039;s worth $10.&nbsp; If not, it&#039;s eligible for a Buyers Protection claim wherein I would be refunded the price I paid including shipping.&nbsp; The only thing I would be out is the return shipping, which I would be out either way.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that I do find mildly annoying about auctions that charge high shipping costs or don&#039;t offer free shipping is sometimes I like to search for items with a current price of less than $1, and auctions at $0.99 with $10 shipping will show up.&nbsp; If I limit myself to items that are listed expressly with free shipping, I miss some items with reasonable shipping costs that I might have been interested in.&nbsp; (For example, a $.01 item with $0.50 shipping).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
