No matter what, eBay will always find a way to take more money from the deal. I charge exactly what it cost to ship meaning I lose due to PayPal fees. Now eBay wants a chunk. This is getting ridiculous. Buyers complain every time the post office raises their fees and this is reflected in the points system. EBay wants you to use their shipping but they cannot handle international. They are not happy unless they change the system every month. They make it sound like great news but it always seems to end up costing the seller more.

That's a non sequitur. The encouragement to keep shipping costs low is competition, not additional fees to the seller. It would be interesting to hear the two-step ebay needs to make to make these two things jive. My guess is smaller sellers get screwed and the larger sellers make special deals. Nothing new under the Sun. -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
