Condor Posted February 20, 2008 Share #3 Posted February 20, 2008 What's even more amazing is that it took 5 bidders to get it to go that high..... and it was another one of those hidden bidder deals. I wonder how any of them were legit...?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted February 20, 2008 Share #4 Posted February 20, 2008 Got caught up in a couple of those and paid more than I wanted to for something. Now I set a limit and CHECK SHIPPING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flb_78 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted February 20, 2008 Yep, I was burned by shipping once. Now I check every item I purchase for shipping costs before bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted February 20, 2008 Share #7 Posted February 20, 2008 Yep, I was burned by shipping once. Now I check every item I purchase for shipping costs before bidding. It's getting to be a common practice for sellers to start an auction at $.99 and pad the hell out of their shipping charges to where they are more than the item is worth. The one that really gets me is the seller charging 20 bucks via UPS for something that can be mailed USPS priority flat rate for $8.95. They do this to get away from paying any Ebay end-user fees. I figure it's coming out of my pocket in the long run, so if I see something like that happening I'll report them to Ebay. There's a page for doing that. I know it sounds like I'm a PITA but if you spent as much money as I do for shipping every year you'd be a bit touchy too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
