<p>[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 326753, member: 705"]I bought a non-coin item today on Ebay. I had bid on the item and had been outbidded. The guy had 2 and so he offered me the 2nd one at the same price. I took it and then asked him when I went to check out if we could work out sending the item by DHL (we use them alot at my business). He was asking $29.99 for USPS shipping and I did a quick check with DHL and saw that I could get it pretty fast for under $10.</p><p>He said sure and that I could go ahead and check out. So I email him back and ask about the price different...he emails back that the total shipping cost also has packing, and ebay fee's added into it so no he won't lower shipping. So in other words...he is making $20 off shipping alone.</p><p>Since it was an item I really need and can't wait much longer to find a replacement for a broken one I went ahead and did it...but you can bet that after I get the item he will get a LONNNGG email telling him about ebay rules and etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
