Question for the masses

[200x Basket]

then they are charging you for the time it takes them to box it up too. Personally I think it is bs but its up to them. It's not too hard to throw a part in a box and tape it up. If they say just shipping, then they are ripping you off.

then you have never spent 6 hours boxing stuff and loaded the bed of your truck twice in one day and spent 2 hours at the post office (each load). i make about $2-3 on a package. if it is not woth my time then you can come pick it up. like i said though i POST the shipping rate in all of my sales. the bidder knows just how much it will be. i did have one asshoel who said it was to much and left me negative feedback after he asked me if i would lower it and i told him no. does not really bother me. i have sold about 100 items in the last two weeks and i have no problem getting bidders. most of my sales start at $1 so the buyers can determine the price of an item.

I have read through all the posts and will give some more info. The actual statement on ebay for shipping was "Buyer pays shipping costs". I copied and pasted that statement directly from ebay. I always like when people state the S&H with their auction. Hey Time is Money and I can appreciate that. I don't begrudge someone wanting a few or maybe even $5 for packaging and shipping things. However on the other side, this is an auction, and buy listing on ebay you know for the most part that you will be shipping. Just keep it reasonable is all I ask. But 2 weeks to respond and then with that crap. I have never had to leave anyone negative and hate to do it, but I also have a responsibility to warn other "good" ebayers. I will try to contact them once more and thats it! My guess is that they decided NOT to sell it, or sold it locally and blew me off. I would rather buy from you trike guys, most of you are great to deal with. I say most cause I've seen a few posts concerning issues, but you will always have the scammers in the world.
I believe my word is my bond, if you don't have that what do you have?
Thanks guys,
