<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 1672321, member: 19250&quot;]When I sold on E bay I never offered free shipping or insurance ....the reason being that the cost of shipping is to costly to eat as a seller. Yes EBay wants everything for the buyer as it&#039;s not costing E bay anything. Just add it up insertion fee, FVF, Pay Pal fees, then shipping. Ha you are loosing money not making any. Besides if I buy something from you I feel I should pay for it to be shipped and insured. As I am the buyer and want to protect my&nbsp; purchase. Watch next when you&#039;ll need to collect sales tax for selling. you&#039;re basically working for e bay for nothing and rest assured if the buyer is not happy you&#039;re left holding the bag of snakes not eaby!</p><p><br /></p><p>I love my Canadian friends as well as the friends I have made on the other side of the pond....however shipping is so costly these days...I had reduced my shipping fee&#039;s somewhat when I sold...but it&#039;s a crap shoot...as a seller you try to be fair and good service. Good service cost me at least another $1.50 as I shipped within 24 hours of cleared payment. If the item was going out of country that meant not only a trip to the post office but standing in line for for ever how long and more forms to fill out. </p><p>I sent a coin to a Swiss buyer one time that took no kidding 2.5 months to get to him! I was ready to refund him his payment and eat the coin.&nbsp; I always used USPS Prority Mail 2 reasons #1 it was cheaper than 1st class and safer ,#2 it was faster delievery time. I can&#039;t speak for the Canadians but I would believe they are well aware that depending on their locations the time needed to get an item to them will take alot longer.</p><p>I also noticed if I sold a coing to a west coast buyer as I am east coast it took less time to deliver it than to send it 150 miles down the road south of me! Yup cross country 3 days and sometimes two ...an address less than 200miles from me would take a week and that was using USPS Priority mail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
