YOu guys clipped off the rest of my message - :) I did not let the lady get away with that. I always insure for the what ever the final value indicates - but I put an insurance fee upfront that is based on what I expect to get for the item. Given that it is to someone in the USA. I generally make it soemthing at the high end of what I hope for. But then, I seldom sell anything that goes for more than $100.
I do always quote a shipping and handling fee, too - again, only applicable in the USA. ann Original Message: ----------------- From: J. C.

Wow! I always quote an exact shipping cost, which includes insurance, in my eBay auctions. The buyer knows before bidding and gets no choice in the matter (and can decide not to bid if my price is deemed out of line). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
