Pretty sure that you can report that to eBay for abusive language, just as you could here. Seriously, telling you to kill yourself because he's butt-hurt that you called him out on his shoddy practices?

Yes you agreed to the S&H charges but you have a reasonable expectation that the actual standard of S&H matches the dollars going into it.

I already reported him, but the lady on the other end of the phone could tell I wasn't all that offended hahhaaaaa!!

I won three cards off him, but only left feedback for one so far. I don't think he realized that when he messaged me :)

^^^^^

This.


I've seen the debate over shipping charges, and what kind of feedback or star rating is appropriate. While I believe $4 is clear evidence of ripping someone off when it comes to shipping within Canada (unless it requires some kind of premium option) it's not crazy over the top (I charge $2.50, $3.00 is what I consider "normal", $2.00 (or less) is what I consider "cheap").

You want money-per card when combining shipping charges? Okay... I might even agree to that.

For $6 shipping, I would have expected that he sent you your three cards in brand-new top loaders, penny sleeves, in team bag(s) so the top loaders didn't need to be taped.... in a bubble mailer, some kind of extra padding added, and a $1.80 stamp used.

I still think $6 is too much for what I just described, but it's reasonable.

A PWE, with an 85 cent stamp? I agree completely with what you guys are saying.

I charge $1.00 in a re-enforced Top-Loader/Loaders, and reinforced PWE domestically here in the USA, for what Ed Just paid $6.00 for. If I was sent what Ed was sent domestically at 85 cents, this guy's eBay Feedback Profile would look like this:


Auction #1: One Star * All Categories - With scathing negative
Auction #2: One Star * All Categories - With scathing negative
Auction #3: One Star * All Categories - With scathing negative, and a Richard Noggin name-calling for good measure

similar thing happened to me, when a seller on ebay charged me for their "TIME" to ship a card.
Had a guy ship a redemption card to me, which he just emailed me the code and a picture of the redemption for 2 dollars.
When I called him out on it, he claimed it was for all the effort and time he had to put in........

Some days it takes all I have just to get out of bed in the morning, who do I bill for that........... :D

Basically my philosophy is this; If I have the cheapest rates on eBay (sometimes I lose money but 10 cents here or there isn't a big deal to me) and can still send with top-loaders and yadda yadda for free (let's face it, you get top-loaders with majority of your purchases) and also ship multiple items at no extra costs AND I STILL GET the odd 1 or 2 in the DSR rating for shipping then anyone who charges a considerable amount more than me on shipping for the same service is getting less than 5 stars.

Negative is something I do not do often.

Anyone with any advice here?

Sold this Ronaldo SSP auto tonight. BIN price of $1200 US as it's a nice version of the auto. Got an offer of $650 for it and countered with $1100. It sold and was paid for within a half hour.

Now is where my ebay inexperience may come into play which is why I'm looking for advice.

Clicked on the profile of the person who bought it (based in Sweden) and they joined ebay........today, July 4th.

Is it just me or is that fishy. No feedback, as of yet. I mean they paid so that's good but it just seems strange to me. I'm sending it registered etc. to make sure it arrives without problems. Maybe I should fed-ex it?

What do you guys think?

Or am I just being paranoid?

With the World Cup going on there's inevitably going to be lots of new folks looking for cards of the world's biggest soccer stars. If you're sending a $1000+ card overseas I would hope that you're using tracking & insurance regardless of whether it's a guy with 0 or 1,000 feedback.
