<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 987157, member: 26972&quot;]You are line item charging the buyer for <i><b>your</b></i> insurance and and for <i><b>your</b></i> coverage regarding proof of delivery? Do you detail that out in your listing?&nbsp; If you did, do you think that will help your sales or hurt them. In other words -&nbsp; why would I want pay for your car insurance if I am&nbsp; not the beneficiary?&nbsp; Things like this IMO should be in the cost of the&nbsp; product. In this case the starting bid price.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a higher shipping cost than others with the same product, what do you think the buyers are thinking about that?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When you have a high shipping cost, are you are going to get more or less bidders?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you have more people bidding , is likely that you will end up with a higher or a lower closing price?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also ask you why do you stop at those couple of shipping related costs? Don&#039;t you have others? Where is your printer ink, electric for your computer,&nbsp; your desk, your roof over your head, food in your mouth, your sewer bill..?&nbsp;&nbsp; Remind me to never have you cost out a job for me!&nbsp; You will buy the lumber, but not have any saws to cut it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for abusing you as an example, but it is amazing to me how few here understand the basics of marketing and sales. You are not eating the shipping costs. You are likely, not getting as much for your item as you could be.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I swear I am almost done with this subject.&nbsp; What is the mood - curmudgeon? This is such 101 subject that so few of you guys and gals understand.&nbsp; Not sure what the average age here is, but I got a feeling that there is a bit of narrow mindedness that is stereotypical of the ol&#039; stuck in the mud geezer going on here.&nbsp; I turned 49 last Sunday BTW</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t believe me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then use google . on a quick whim, I typed in &quot;to offer free shipping or not&quot;.&nbsp; this is the second result written 4 freakiin years ago!&nbsp;&nbsp; Get with the times people![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
