<p>[QUOTE="Topher, post: 267866, member: 8489"]That's exactly my point. Factor those things in when you set your price. I don't care that it costs you $2 to drive to the Post Office. You are the one choosing to go there to mail it, that should be factored into your starting price, or your reserve. I'm not charging you for my drive to the Post Office to pick it up, am I? Maybe I should. Come to think of it, I may need to take a day off work to go there and get it too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I take into account any shipping and handling fees when I bid on something on ebay. If you have an outrageous shipping fee (or none listed), I won't even stop to see what you are selling. If it's reasonable, I'll look, but I'll take it into account. I'd like to see ebay list items by "total prices shipped", so we can compare apples to apples. I'm also not thrilled with people that think charging $2.50 for a $0.01 envelope and a $0.41 stamp is reasonable. I have no problems paying for reasonable charges, but $12 to ship 5 coins from Quebec to Toronto? Get real. I can ship 500g of coins to the US for almost half that price (I've actually done that!) I can send 30-40 coins to Europe or Asia for almost half of that! (Done that too) Is it too much to ask that sellers keep shipping costs reasonable?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
