<p>[QUOTE="camlov2, post: 986668, member: 26479"]It is sad to see people saying they would downgrade a seller based on what they charge, I think you have to also mention how it is shipped. I have no problem paying $3 for a coin if it is in a bubble mailer and well sealed, I would have a small problem if it was in an 2x2/envelope and they charged $3. Now if I bought three items from the seller and there was no discount I would be a little annoyed if my $9 only got me a bubble mailer. </p><p> </p><p>As a seller I try to charge what it costs to ship, I just sent a $7 item off today where I charged $2 for shipping. I reused a bubble mailer and the cost was $1.75 to send, when I packed it up I taped a quarter inside the package. It sounds stupid but I want to make sure I am being fair. If It was a more expensive item or if I had to buy packing materials I wouldn't have done it. I have no problem with people charging a little for materials/printing/time but it shouldn't run $5-6 per package. </p><p> </p><p>The first time I bought on ebay (legos) I didn't know that sellers would combine shipping. I paid for the items and never asked for a total. When she shipped the items she slipped two crisp $2 bills in the package for the extra shipping that I had paid. I guess I would rather pass along this type of customer service then the "stick it to them" attitude some possess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
