<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 26177, member: 1674&quot;]How is padding S&amp;H any different than the big auction houses charging a 20% buyer&#039;s premeium?&nbsp; Both are charges that are stated prior to the transaction (if they&#039;re not stated ahead of time there is a problem) that everyone has the ability to factor into their offer/bid price.&nbsp; I guess it can get out of hand, but as long as its not too out of line and its stated ahead of time I don&#039;t have a problem with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>My perspective is based on the limited selling that I do on eBay.&nbsp; First, I DON&#039;T sell coins, there are just too many things that complicate it and can go wrong.&nbsp; I do sell trading cards, both sports cards and trading card game cards.&nbsp; My standard policy is that I charge $1.25 for the first auction won and 50¢ for each additional auction won.&nbsp; Basically I figure the cost of envelopes/padded mailers + first class postage + top loader (a hard plastic sleeve that the card goes into to protect it) + the eBay listing fee (30-50¢/auction) + the Paypal basic transaction fee ($0.30/transaction).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never had any real problems with this system (so far I&#039;ve never had a negative or neutral feedback left for me), but I&#039;m also not trying to sell Morgans for $0.99 with a $25 shipping fee either.&nbsp; On a couple of occasions I&#039;ve had a buyer question my charges and I&#039;ve just explained exactly what they would be getting for the s&amp;h fees and it&#039;s always pacified them.</p><p><br /></p><p>my 2¢</p><p><br /></p><p>CD[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
