<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1948955, member: 31533"]Personally, I don't think that ebay should be able to take a percentage of s/h or postage costs. It generally does one of two things.... either it makes the seller take out of his/her pocket to pay for part of the s/h costs or it forces a responsible seller (responsible to his/her business and bottom line) to either start putting a higher percentage than ebay takes from this to the s/h costs to mitigate it or contributes to the seller having to put that 'loss' they will incur into the purchase price, thus padding the price to cover it. Basically both those scenarios I think are onerous to the seller because they are, in my mind on the more unethical side if you are talking about what you have to do to run a business. Sort of like a store upping the prices by a certain percentage before advertising a discounted price on the item(s).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
