I've always given the buyer the option of shipping it or picking it up in person. I
sold a VHS tape via eBay to a
guy 15 miles away. I suggested he save the shipping ($3.50 on a $10.00 transaction is
significant) and offered to
let him pick up himself. He thought that was splendid but, things came up so he had
me ship it anyway.
I usually give the buyers the shipping option as well. I just sold a 10 year old 25
watt stereo receiver but didn't
have the original box. I got a quote from Mail Boxes Etc for packing and shipping but
the buyer said
(emphatically), "No." Wants me to pack it with crumpled newspaper and a box and take
it to the UPS counter. I
said, "Fine."
I've never padded the shipping costs either or turned the Priority boxes inside out.
Cheers,
Steve S.
