<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 984178, member: 24544&quot;]I am selling some coins on ebay and have a shipping charge of $3.00 per coin.&nbsp; Someone, not a bidder, sends me the following email:</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">&#039;Your feedback rating indicates you&#039;re fairly new to eBay. Those sellers who&#039;ve been around for a while have learned that an excessive mailing charge discourages bidding. At the very most (and that means mailed in a &#039;bubble&#039; mailer), only $1.37 is needed to mail this single raw coin. $3 is not the Priority rate, so buyers already know something is &#039;fishy&#039;. The consequence is that you&#039;ll be dealing with someone (if at all) by low bids, and poor feedback.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">Toward your success, you&#039;d be doing yourself a favor by revising the charges being demanded.</font></span>&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean come on, is $3.00 really excessive for shipping costs for a coin.&nbsp; I figure it&#039;s $1.37 plus the cost of the envelope at the post office plus delivery confirmation and or insurance.&nbsp; Every item I have sold on ebay, granted I have not sold many, I have eaten shipping costs because I list it for less then it actually costs me.</p><p><br /></p><p>But seriously, this guy makes it sound like people will be completely unwilling to bid &#039;you&#039;ll be dealing with someone(if at all)&#039;, over his estimate of $1.63 in shipping charges that he can&#039;t account for...&nbsp; Sorry, had to vent, carry on...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
