    Wow!!

    Is it ME or have some of these sellers just gone WAY overboard on the shipping charges?? I can understand padding the shipping a BIT.. but THIS is ridiculous!!

    CHECK OUT THIS SHIPPING

    Here's a rundown:

    08-09 Exquisite 'Exquisite Auto/Swatch' 10/25.. but the guy in the end wants >>> $6.20 SHIPPING!! OMG!!

    Granted..it is a PHENOMONAL card..4 color...>> '7' color breaks. Only thing that I didn't like is what seemed to be ALOT of chipping in the borders.

    That is pretty crazy. And for a card that is pretty damaged up too.

    I think the sellers know that they will not get what they want from it so they decide to hike the shipping charges to make a small profit off it.

    I think it's fine. Sometimes people put a higher shipping price so they can pay less ebay fees. It doesn't really affect the buyer since you should always view the total price of an item as price + shipping anyway.

    I agree. People always get bent out of shape with high shipping charges. You should only pay what you think the card is worth (including shipping).

    If a Seller wants to save on Ebay fees let 'em. He doesn't have a gun to anyone's head.

    Well, if you are used to 2 dollars shipping or something its high. But for me its low, cause i pay shipping over 6 dollars all the time, I even paid $30 shipping for a card, now that's crazy, plus there came some 60 dollars customs over it too.

    I'm not condemming the guy for it. I mean..if he's trying to get his ebay fees out of it..so be it. I just don't like the trend that the shipping is heading in is all. I mean..at what point do you draw a line. Seems the 'BUYER' is starting to eat all the fees. Everyone's got their own thing on dealing with Ebay. Mine personally, is I won't pay over $4 shipping....PERIOD. Selling is and fees is the sellers responsibility..if I see the person trying to push fees off on to me.. well then I move on.
