<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goldmember, post: 987289, member: 19304&quot;]Well, I will continue to charge whatever shipping rates I think are fair for both the buyer and me, and they will be clearly listed in the details.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t agree with them you are more than welcome to move on to the next auction.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As for you often repeated excuse of marketing, I can tell you that the auction-style listings on ebay are not conducive to repetitive buying after the initial transaction is completed (meaning after the allure of combining shipping).&nbsp; Buyers are looking for the lowest total price and couldn&#039;t care less if the seller is losing money or not, so free shipping will not bring back many repeat buyers.&nbsp; As a seller, I don&#039;t like eating 25 - 50% of the selling price in shipping fees, so I will be happy to get a bid of $3 less and have my peace of mind that I won&#039;t be eating shipping fees.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And for the record, I am in my 30&#039;s and have an advanced degree in business with extensive marketing classes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
