<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 301954, member: 4552"]All so debatelable. I know it's not supposed to be a profit on S&H but then again, why not. All's fair in love and war, old saying. Similarly if you go to work and say make X/hour. Now do you really make X/hour? You have to wake up to go there, travel to get there, usually waste time for lunch, travel back home, etc. YOu have to wear cloths that need laundering and eventually buy more just for work. Many other extras and just for work. Now take an 8 hour work day and add the addtional few hours for the above. You know make much less than X/hour. Sort of the same with seling on ebay. Should you want pay for going out and buying shipping material? Time wrapping, going to the post office? Maybe receiving a check and having to go to a bank to deposit it? Entering the item in the first place. What part of that is similar to the 8 hour work day? My feelings are an ebay seller should get something for all that. More than just the postage for sure. Of course excessive S&H would be like asking for money to wake up in the morning to go to work. You have to get up eventually anyway. Still there has to be or should be some profit in all the preparations for an ebay life. </p><p>I do not sell on ebay or anywhere via the internet nor do I buy there either. Never have and hopefully never will. I live in an area where there are places to buy anything possible so no need for such things as ebay. Guess I miss all the fun of good and bad stories about that place. Still here there are people that spend hours shopping in stores to save a few dimes and blow dollars on gas, wear and tear on their cars. Spend many hours clipping coupons from the papers, sorting them, looking for more everywhere including downloading them from the internet. So which is better? </p><p>I just like coin shows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
