<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 212617, member: 4626"]Have to agree with you there. I don't sell on eBay much, but when I do, I only ever charge the actual cost of shipping. I only charge any "handling" if I have to buy special packaging to ship the item in (and even then, only the exact amount it costs me). The listing charge and final value charge is the cost of doing business on eBay and should come out of the sale price for the actual item. If after that, you just think you won't make enough money on the item to make it worth selling on eBay, then don't sell it on eBay. Just my own personal opinion of course, but I take a very low view of people who try to pad their profit by charging more than their actual costs for shipping and handling. If you can't get the profit you want from the item after paying shipping, handling, listing and final value fees, then take your item somewhere else to sell or just don't sell it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just as I take a dim view of "buyer's remorse," I take a dim view of "seller's remorse," by which I mean the seller isn't happy for what the item sold for and wants to make up for it somehow. If the seller wanted more money, they should have put a reserve on the item or set a higher minimum bid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
