<p>[QUOTE="Indianhead65, post: 159666, member: 103422"]I tend to be <b>very</b> careful when buying coins on Ebay. I've been collecting off and on for almost 30 yrs. and like to think that I know what I'm looking at when it comes to coins (for the most part). I stay away from spending alot of money at one time on Ebay because of all the scammers. Unless its a seller that I've had alot of purchases from and get to trust. I too very much dislike high shipping + handling charges. I've brought this up before in here. A seller will put a coin on Ebay with a starting bid or "buy it now" of $1.99 then charge you $10.00 or more for S&H because Ebay cant charge their sky high fees on S&H, only on the winning bid amount. I think Ebay should step in and regulate how much a seller can charge for S&H, of course, it would also depend on the weight of the item being sold but theres no way it should cost $5.00 to ship a few dimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
