That may have been true, not so sure now...but I cannot discuss why.

I think on the second invoice the stated charge should be identified as 'Fondling', as it appears the shipper believes that your package received attention above and beyond normal 'Handling'.

What, do anything for free?

The last auction item I bought was thru HA on an item consigned by some guy we all know who was liquidating a certain type collection to fund a certain educational endeavor. Loved the cards but not the final tab, which inflated the cost to over 135% of the bid. Situation normal these days? Looks like it.

Tempted to start a pick up service for auction #2. I routinely pick my items there. I could pick up other's items make a small profit AND save them money lol.

Its true....
I've spent anywhere between $25 to $40 for single-item shipping, and don't even get me started on the EBay Global Shipping Program, where I've seen shipping for SMALL items over $100... Sometimes even higher.

The 1st looks in-line to me, the 2nd not so much.

Imagine if I lived in a taxable state:

Sub-Total $1,020.00
Shipping $29.90
Tax $0.00

Total $1,049.90

#2 I bet I know too!


Insurance: $17.68
Ship/Pack: $15.50

Those Ebay GSP costs are horrendous especially for people in Canada. I have turned away from so many nice cards that I wanted to add to my collection because of that GSP. Sometimes the shipping is more than the card.

I have vented many times about it.

I simply don't bid on auctions or purchase BIN's that use the GSP.

Not so sure our American (seller) friends appreciate the frustrations Canadians have with that program.
