These posts about getting charged an extra dollar for postage or insurance are getting kinda old in my opinion. If the cards are damaged that's one thing, but if they aren't, why not just move on? |

I agree, also this wasn't an extra dollar. The seller shorted him eight dollars. That seems to me a pretty extreme "over-charging" on shipping. |

1. Honesty: you do not promise a buyer something, charge for it and not deliver it. To me, what this seller did is merely a difference in degree from selling me a card and not sending it. |

I had a seller i bought 3 cards from,and charged me 7.50 for shipping. the cards were shipped in a normal envelope saying 37 cents also. cards were bent, no insurance on them. the seller said u never asked for insurance and i wanted a refund after that. but they didnt do it. never again he will not get my business. also ebay has alot of ppl charging 4 bucks shipping etc etc, and i c only about a buck put into it. another way for them to make another buck i guess... :S |

I hate that as a buyer. I just refunded people some shipping money on auctions I had that recently closed. One got back $3 because I couldn't insure the package to Europe (when I thought I could) and another card got shipped where I accidentally sent it without the $50 postal insurance. Both were PayPal customers, so I could easily do a partial refund. |

I did the same today as well; a buyer purchased insurance on $20 item, I bought the DC but forgot the insurance. I refunded his $1.30 b/c it was the right thing to do. |

Yes, Adam. As you know, I also won a postcard from this seller. Shipping was $5. I received it in a semi rigid mailer with $0.83 postage stamped on the outside. Card was not damaged but it does make you appreciate those sellers who do not try to make their profit in shipping fees. --Lyman |

Adam I see your point kinda and appreciate your civil tone in response to my less-civil-than-it-should-have-been remark. My personal view is still that life is too short to let these things aggravate one because they are inevitably going to happen over and over again. |

Basically my view is if the seller puts an insurance/shipping in the listing (I don't mean hide it in the listing) then the winner should be expected to pay it...This means if they charge you for insurance it should be insured in accord with whatever the listing says.... There should be no hidden costs for the buyer to deal with and no after the sale renegotiating -- which incudes whatever the shipping cost to the buyer is stated in the listing. |

When I do sell cards, I charge $3 for shipping. The actual charge is a buck and change plus the DC. There is also the cost of the bubble mailer to figure in. When sellers pack a card the way I do, I don't have a problem with $4 or so for shipping. When they send it in an envelope with 37 cents postage, it's pisses me and pretty much everyone else off when they've charged you $4 or more for the shipping. |

When I sell, shipping is usually on me or I charge way less than I should. If a card is worth over 100 bucks it is going into a bubble mailer, then placed in a priority mail big cardboard enevelope thing, then it is insured, and then tagged with a delevery confirmation slip. Over done ? Over the top, for just just a 100 dollar card ? Probably. I usually spend around 9-12 dollars shipping a card and usually charge 2 dollars if anything. Its the way I will alawys do it, better the extra few bucks to get it there safe than not there at all. |

I for one never get tired of these types of posts. I think you have a right to be upset and I think it is good to let board members know the sellers who treat their customers this way. These types of sellers will lose out in the long run and they just are not smart enough to see that. Like Jay said, I don't mind a dealer making a couple bucks on shipping as long as they state their shipping charges and package the item well. I would like to know the seller who charges $12 for 8 cards so I can stay away from them. |

and that it was an honest error. He did refund. If anyone else got burned with paying for non-existent insurance, demand a refund and you will get it. |

I guess we are all different. I assume that if a seller does not buy insurance which I requested, he has chosen to self-insure the item. As far as seemingly excessive shipping charges, I find them a portion of the item's cost which I figure into my bidding. |

I agree with Gil, just factor the shipping into the cost of the item. If it's stated up front, don't argue about it after you win the item...that's really asking to buy teh item for less than the underbidder was willing to pay. In any event, I find I often get great deals on items with high stated shipping because others stay away. |

I, too, am annoyed by these practices, but I've learned to review the seller's shipping terms before bidding and work out any disagreements before the transaction is complete. If it's something I really want, I'll pay whatever outrageous charges there are. If the items are received without damage when the seller only used .37 as postage, sobeit. |

I don't disagree with the points made w/r/t stated shipping costs; I factor them into the price. My post was about the non-procurement of insurance issue. |

Adam: Point well taken. I was merely responding to the responses which did refer to shipping costs. I agree with you 100% on the insurance issue, assuming the seller doesn't pay for damage/lost items themselves. |

Ii don't know how many of you are aware of the USPS's Ship and Click service. You can create a shipping label and pay the postage on an item online. If you ship 1st class, DC is 13 cents or free if you use Priority Mail and you can insure an item up to $500 now. Then all you have to do is hand of your item to the mailman. The only thing you need to have is a good scale. |

I won a 33 Goudey common on ebay many years ago for $1. Shipping was $2. I paid via paypal. The seller sent me an email saying I owed him $1.30 for insurance even though his listing said insurance is not available (like I would have wanted it anyways.) I said I would rather not pay $1.30 insurance for a $1 item and would take my chances. He refused to sell it to me and refunded my payment. I was floored by the sellers absolute stupidity. |

I agree with Gil. If I pay for insurance and he does not actually buy it, I assume he has chosen to self-insure the item, that is, if it gets lost in the post he'll reimburse me, which is the purpose of insurance. It doesn't really matter if he actually purchases the insurance from the post office. Why is it any more shady when a seller self insures to make a buck, versus the post office insuring articles to make a buck? |

When I sell a card, my ad says something like "$3.50 S&H for U.S. customers and actual shipping charged to rest of the world" (I copied this from another forum member so I assume it's common language). Once, a guy from Australia won a card. It cost only $1.20 or so in postage and delivery confirm was unavailable. He wrote to say he got the card but I had overcharged him by $2.30. I thought it was funny he expected cheaper S&H to Australia than I charge people in the U.S. but I guess he had a point based on my wording. |
