Here was the motivation for the experiment... I just recently purchased a TR-3/RV-3/AC-3/W-7 on eBay, and the the shopping costs were shown as $44.00. I assumed, since I had know reason to think otherwise, this what what the seller specified for shipping charges. I was a little surprised when the actual shipping charges came in at $120.00. (I have always sold items specifying the buyer will bay the actual shipping charges.) We agreed to split the difference (of $44 and $120) and all went well. However, I got to thinking the shipping costs might be generated by eBay. It appears this is the case. So I just sent the seller the remaining shipping amount to make sure everything was square; and he did not get the short end of eBay's "friendly" shipping cost "estimate". So I guess the bottom line is to make sure, if it is not explicitly stated in the auction, to confirm with the seller what the actual shipping costs are. Thank you all for your time and help with my experiment. 73 - Mark N1VQW ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
