[QUOTE="Taxidermist, post: 1688743, member: 24849"]Found a note I`d like to purchase on eBay, but the shipping fee was really high for International shipping, $16. Banknote value is in the $23-28 area, so paying this much for shipping makes no sense at all. I contacted the seller, hoping to get a better shipping fee, it works out nicely sometimes and then I can afford to bid on an item. Not this time, here are 2 lines from seller reply on my request to consider lower shipping fees in case I win: Basically the seller is saying that if the note sells for lower than he expects, shipping fees are staying high. If the note sells for a hefty premium, shipping costs will be reduced. Is it just me, or is this totally wrong and the seller should always charge his actual shipping fee, and not compensate himself if the buyers gets a bargain?[/QUOTE]
