Message:: [QUOTE="DJP7x0s, post: 301660, member: 5336"]I tried that with the whole ebay thing. I would list coins at really low prices and then base a high shipping fee on what I wanted for the coin. Say I wanted $50 for the coin I was selling, I would list the coin at $10 and the shipping at $40. As an attempt to save some money on ebays listing fees and on their final value fees. Doing that would save me about $4 or $5. Because ebay does not charge you a fee based on the shipping costs. So if you figure, Id save money like that on every listing, it was adding up really fast. I was saving alot of money on ebays fees. But it didnt work out, I had some people complain about excessive shipping fees and I had someone leave negative feedback. Anyhow, I explained to the person that left negative feedback, and he withdrew the bad feedback. He told me it makes sense and it was a good idea, but before he knew my reasoning behind it, he was not happy. But, the shipping fees are clearly listed and if they are bidding, they should take the shipping fees in to consideration when they determine how much they are willing to pay for the coin. Anyhow, it was a good idea that saved me lots of money, but in the end I gave up, people didnt get the concept.[/QUOTE]
