<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1920137, member: 25270&quot;]I purchased a 1903 Russian 3 kopeks coin on eBay. I paid $1.29 plus $1.95 for shipping, which is a total of $3.24. Well, the seller sent it to me by certified mail, and I got it today. He paid $3.79 in postage, plus you can figure about 30 cents in eBay fees plus about 40 cents in Paypal fees. That means he spent at least $4.50 to sell me a coin that I paid $3.24 for. This is probably one of those people who goes on about how eBay is such a racket and no one can make a profit there. But what is this person thinking? Why do you use certified mail for a $1.29 item? Even if an occasional shipment gets lost in the mail, you&#039;re still better off than a guaranteed loss. And now I had to go to the post office and wait in line for 20 minutes to pick it up. This sort of thing has happened a few times recently. I don&#039;t understand why people are using certified mail on cheap items. Or if you are going to do that, at least charge what it will cost you. This business model makes no sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
