josetann Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Last year the Spongebob Krabby Patty Station was being sold for outrageous amounts on ebay and it sold for $19.99 in the stores but you couldn't find it. I refuse to pay through the nose for a toy that my kids can enjoy a month or so after Christmas for 1/5 the cost.That's why you tell your kids Christmas will be in January.

happysunshine28 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Oh, and by the way, Ebay will cancel auctions that are designed to circumvent the fees by charging huge s&h rates. All you have to do is report the auction to them.I have tryed selling both ways, actual shipping charges and higher starting price and then with a handling fee and lower starting price. Even though the final price would be the same most buyer want the lower starting price and pay higher shipping. I dont like putting a handling fee on my auctions and dont unless I have to relist the item, then I lower the price by $2 or 3 and add a $2 or $3 handling fee and they sell. I look at shipping as part of the price when I buy on ebay but know people who brag about getting a pair of shoes for $1 off ebay and then when I ask how much shipping was they say $30, $31 for a used pair of boot is not a bargain IMO. I have seen sellers have a starting price of 1 cent and shipping would be 29.99 that is wrong in my opinion but their stuff sells, the sad thing is people bid. I am guilty also only if it is rare or hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
