<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 41058, member: 1101&quot;]I don&#039;t have access to ebay at work.&nbsp; What are the shipping charges?&nbsp; I am just curious, as this is an ongoing pet peeve of mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the price of the rolls, these are auctions.&nbsp; If you start the price too high, you risk scaring away people.&nbsp; If you start it too low, you risk selling it for below market value.&nbsp; This is what auctions are all about.&nbsp; If you are not comfortablee with this, then you should sell at a fixed price through another venue. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the postage cost, I am dying to know what you listed.&nbsp; Any bidder who has a brain will look at what they are willing to pay in total for an item, then deduct the postage, and then the result will be their high bid.&nbsp; Too many sellers (and even some bidders) ignore postage costs and expect bidders to bid to a fair price in the auction and THEN pay postage on top.&nbsp; This is rediculous.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For most bidders, every dime that a seller overcharges in postage is a dime they will not bid for the item itself.&nbsp; My favorite example of a bad seller are ones who force you to use premium servioces.&nbsp; For example, I have bought items that the seller would only ship by Priority Mail for $4 or so.&nbsp; He could have shipped for 60 cents if he had been flexible.&nbsp; Had he shipped for 60 cents, that is 3.40 more that I would have been willing to bid on the item itself, but because he insisted on PM I lowered my bid by that 3.40.&nbsp; That extra money wenrt to the Post OPffice, not the seller.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I can usually tell when a seller on eBay is not also a buyer.&nbsp; Their terms are usually unreasonable. </p><p><br /></p><p>My adviose to anyone selling on ebay is to do some small buying first (or at least carefully monitor some auctions).&nbsp; They will learn what buyers want and expect, and that will make them a better seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
