  4. Picked up a bunch of Color Wonder stuff today. I found the Nemo ones and scanned them and they came up $0 so I found an employee that had a price gun and she scanned it at $1.98! So I grabbed all of those up. I also got a bunch of Glue Stick double packs for 75% off. I picked up the little Crayola Easle and a bunch of different markers and pencils at 75% off, Transformers Tattoo kit and a Color Explosion kit that I think someone had hid behind the reg priced ones. Oh yeah, I also picked up some Tylenol Cold Multisympton that has a $1 off coupon attached and I had a Target $1 off and another manufacture $1 off and she let me use all 3! :) I did not have time to peruse so I am sure I left some wonderful deal for someone else to get! BTW, I really wanted the Crayola Toddler kit that had the little car that they sit in but they were all gone
  5. You can scheduele a pickup at your home and print the postage for International shipments on your computer. The postal worker will come to your door and pick the International packages up! So you dont have to go to the post office anymore! :)
  6. Dont worry, when you opened the dispute, it puts a temporary hold on the funds in their Paypal account so the money will be there when the item is received back. As long as you have tracking number and signature confirmation, Paypal will see that in the tracking information and automatically refund you when it shows delivered. You should be fine.
  7. I am not going to hang you, but I do want to defend myself. I am one of those that has made Ebay a "Business". It has proven to be successful for me and my family. It has given me to opportunity to stay at home with my son. It has given me the freedom to take a vacation when I want and not worry about using "Vacation days". It has given me the freedom of enjoying more time with my husband and my children. Because of Ebay I have something to be proud because I have made it such a huge a success. I went from selling $50 a week to $15,000 in sales a month! On the other hand, my mother is one of those that goes to estate sales and yard sales and finds those great "one of a kind" items that are perfect for her online "yard sale". And she is also succesful. There are still plenty of Yard Sales on Ebay and there are treasures and deals to be had, even with shipping costs. So, we can continue to take sides on this, or we can agree that Ebay has become a great place for Businesses to thrive and a place to find those "Hidden treasures". One more thing, Ebay growing has become a great thing for consumers. You see, the more people that are selling the same item is going to cause the prices to go down. It is the competietion of the sellers to have a lower price to entice the buyers to purchase from them. Remember that it is a good thing that Ebay cintinues to grow so you can get better prices.
  8. Ebay's Excessive Shipping Charges Policy Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fees to cover the costs for mailing, packaging, and handling the items they are selling. While eBay will not prescribe exactly what a seller may or may not charge, eBay will rely on member reports and its own discretion to determine whether or not a seller’s shipping, handling, packaging, and/or insurance charges are excessive. Shipping and handling fees may not be listed as a percentage of the final sale price. Sellers who want to be sure they are in compliance with this policy may charge actual shipping costs plus actual packaging materials cost (or less). In addition to the final listing price, sellers are permitted to charge: Actual Shipping cost: This is the actual cost (i.e. postage) for shipping the item. Handling Fee: Actual packaging materials costs may be charged. A handling fee in addition to actual shipping cost may be charged if it is not excessive. Insurance: Sellers offering insurance may only charge the actual fee for insurance. No additional amount may be added, such as “self-insurance”. Sellers who do not use a licensed 3rd party insurance company may not require buyers to purchase insurance. This is a violation of state law. Tax: Only actual applicable federal, state, country, city, VAT, and equivalent taxes may be charged.
  9. If you pay with Paypal, you get a full refund. The only shipping you dont get back is the return shipping costs. So you would get the full $20 refunded.
  10. I would like to add one more thing. I have learned that these sellers that try to circumvent fee's are normally the types of sellers you should stay away from. If they have no guilt breaking Ebay's rules, why not screw buyers over by overlooking certain flaws, not revealing the items true condition, use pictures that are not theirs, and selling fakes. When they get caught, they just open another Ebay account and start all over. Ebay is not all bad. I am one of the good ones! :)
  11. I know it is a pain in the rear, but you can go to the authorities also since it is considered theft. You actually have to file a police report in the city that you shipped it to. Crazy, but it is possible. I have had it happen where a customer sends payment through Paypal using a stolen credit card and after I shipped the item to them Paypal reversed the transaction. So they got the shirt and never paid for it. I researched it and found that I could file a police report but the amount was not a lot so it was not worth the time for me.
  12. A seller has to provide a bank account that is associated with their Paypal account. So if the money is not in their Paypal, it will come out of their personal checking account.
  13. She still gets a refund. I think paying return shipping is fine as long as I get a refund for my original item. Its better than no refund at all.
  14. No, that is NOT right and no matter how you try to make it sound OK, it is wrong and should not be done. That is my point. Also, the buyer should expect FAIR shipping prices and when they buy something that is $0.99, they expect a fair shipping cost. So Shame on the Seller! I cannot believe you are defending them!
  15. WoW~ Free Shipping too~ I am so tempted. I wanted a white set but I am so afraid that it will be too delicate. I wonder how thick it is???
  16. There are the unfortunate few that get excited when they see the great auction price and bid quickly before looking at the shipping. Then after they have won are hit with a ridiculous shipping charge. Some decide to fight with the seller and loose and end up with an unpaid item strike and negative feedback. Then there are the ones that just pay for it in fear of receiving a neagative. It is wrong to do that and is very sad that sellers think that it is OK to rip Ebay and Buyers off.
  17. Have you escalated it to a claim yet? You can open a dispute and paypal wont get involved until you escalate it. Then Paypal will give the seller a certain amount of time for the seller to respond. Some cases take 30 days or more to resolve. Be patient because Paypal will find in your favor. :)
  18. That is why I ONLY pay with Paypal when buying on Ebay. Paypal almost ALWAYS finds in favor of the buyer when there is an issue. You dont even have to go through Ebay, just go straight to Paypal and get your refund.
  19. I went today to get the Pepsi deal. Well, I was planning on getting the ones with the peelies that had the free Pepsi max with the purchase of 4 Pepsi products. I have one, but I wish I had grabbed more because there were none left. Anyway, I then realized that they were completely sold out of the Pepsi Max! So I got 6 12 packs at $2 a piece after Q and am going to go back later this week to get 6 more and hope that I can get the Pepsi Max with the coupon. Do you think they would do a raincheck since it requires I purchase 4 Pepsi 12 packs since I have???
  20. I went this morning around 11am and they were marking scrapbooking stuff. I checked and the color wonder and crayola stuff had not gone down. I guess I will go back tomorrow! Thanks!
  21. Those sellers that the OP was referring to are starting a low bid to try to get out of the high fee's that Ebay charges. It also puts them at the top of a search if someone does a search by price from low to high. However, It is completely against Ebay policy and is not allowed. They need to be reported. It is very easy to do. Just click the Help button at the top and you can find out how there. You dont even have to be a bidder to report people that do that on Ebay. If no one reports them, they will continue to do that and not only screw Ebay out of fee's but customers that dont know any better. I understand about higher shipping rates since I am a seller also. Over the past two years I have had to increase my shipping rates by $2-$3 for US shipments and International has Doubled! This is because the USPS increased shipping rates and Ebay has increased their fee's. I have to continue selling on Ebay because it is my livelyhood and is what keeps me at home with my DS. Dont give up on Ebay. There are legitimate sellers out there that will charge reasonable shipping and deals are possible. I reccomend adding what you are looking for to your Faborite Searches and receive an e-mail every day with the new items listed. Also, just like shopping for a good deal on a car, take your time and shop around. Good Luck!
  22. If you picked up the Orange Juice ones, those are regular price. I did the same thing
  23. Got the Easy Link system in the mail today. Very Happy! They shipped the guitar seperate so I am still waiting for that. :)
  24. I have been searching all over the Target website trying to find where to look up if something is available in-store. Could someone either post a direct link to one, or just give me a little guidence??? Thanks bunches
