Third Party Shipping...
 

Posted By: <b>Brad Green</b><p>Anyone on here have any experience (positive or negative) with third party shipping? I came across an eBay Live auction where the winning bidder is responsible for obtaining a third party shipper to pack and ship the cards. The auction house will deliver the cards to the third party shipper (whichever third party shipper the buyer chooses) and the shipper packs up the cards and sends them off.

Hey, sellers of cards or anything else drop their stuff off at Ebay seller locations all the time too. They just don't want the hassle of selling and shipping items. The just want whatever cash that item gets for them.<br /><br />Joe
