[QUOTE="clembo, post: 499481, member: 8033"]Many sellers are now "sweeping" their accounts and not just the crooks. We do it at work. My cousin is a huge baseball card seller and he does it as well. Why? - because under ebay's new system it is getting much easier for buyers to rip off sellers. We sent a coin to Germany some time ago. Guy wanted absolutely NO insurance and then claimed he didn't get it and pulled his payment back. Paypal basically said go to Germany and prove he got it. Of course it should have had insurance no questions asked and believe me it is that way now. Still, the possibility exists. My co worker lists all of our auctions and it gets even sillier. We know exactly how much it will cost so ship and we charge accordingly. He is constantly getting little "reminders" from ebay that the shipping charges seem high. Perhaps ebay should contact the USPS on this one? Sorry, a bit off topic but wanted to share with the class.[/QUOTE]
