<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 2067926, member: 19065"]From the amount of low quality, low dollar amount stuff that trades on eBay, it seems there are plenty of interested buyers, or just cheapskates who collect that range of material. Under a certain amount, after fees and sellers footing the bill for free shipping, there's no perk left to stand on. So sellers charge shipping and buyers ignore the listings. eBay doesn't want the transactions and this helps to underscore not selling such low value things, as you will be paying to give it away if you do list them and they sell. Perhaps if eBay allowed low value sales without charging sellers fees (or greatly reduced the fees) on auctions under a certain amount, but removed certain services (buyer protections and such), maybe a secondary eBay realm could exist for such low end material that met seller and buyer ideas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
