[QUOTE="Victor, post: 904754, member: 5454"]Before the days of manditory Paypal I used to do a bit of selling on eBay. Then after you HAD to use Paypal I kept selling as an experiment. I tried jacking up the shipping a little just to cover the fees. I think most sellers who have high shipping charges are just trying to offset the selling fees. I tried starting the auctions at a price I could live with but the bids were very few. They want to see 99 cent starting bids and free or $1.50 shipping. What made me quit eBay was a Franklin half dollar I sold. I bought the coin for $4.50 and listed it at 99 cents with $1.50 shipping. The coin sold for less than $5 and it cost me something like $2.39 to mail it. So I figured out it just wasn't worth it to use eBay anymore. You try to jack up the shipping and it has a negative reaction. Set a reasonable shipping charge and you can get nailed on the coin itself.[/QUOTE]
