<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pilkenton, post: 855554, member: 23961&quot;]I live in a semi-small town.&nbsp; It takes less than 10 minutes to drive from one end to the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last night I bought a &#039;64 Kennedy half on ebay for 3.50 + 3.50 s&amp;h.</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed after I won it that the seller was from the same town that I live in.&nbsp; I emailed him, asking if we could meet somewhere and avoid the shipping and handling charges.&nbsp; </p><p>Got an email back.&nbsp; He said no.&nbsp; I paid the seven bucks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this fair?&nbsp; I can see both sides.&nbsp; Maybe the seller was a kid and worked out of his house.&nbsp; I doubt it though.&nbsp; This guy had thousands of feedback points and hundreds of other items for sale.&nbsp; We could have met anywhere in town and the transaction would have taken less than ten minutes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also know the ebay game.&nbsp; If the s&amp;h charges are high, the bids are lower.&nbsp; If the s&amp;h is low, the bids are higher, and the prices of both even themselves out.&nbsp; I think a lot of people charge a high s&amp;h charge so they can&nbsp; be guaranteed a price closer to what the coins worth.&nbsp; I think that&#039;s what this guy is doing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any opinions?&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t make me mad...I was willing to pay the seven bucks before I realized we were neighbors.&nbsp; But is this good ebay ethics?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
