eBay is definitely the Wild West of the internet
you have to be savvy
they blow off any complaints about 2nd chance offers, although lately all the higher priced stuff is anonymous
I'm surprised at all the complaints about shipping cost since these are all listed up front, and are readily visible.
but I've sold thousands of dollars of classic auto parts at prices I probably would not have gotten without a ton of traveling and wasted time at shows/markets
And booth rental difference!
Well certainly high shipping costs of heavy merchandise is justified. I once shipped a cultivator to Canada and that didn't come cheap although it was on the buyer's dime. But for a two ounce package to be shipped for $30 is outrageous. Ebay should ban those crooks permanently , even if it is up front. Some items simply can't be justified to be shipped due to the weight, although automobiles can be purchased and delivered as I have done it. It's not cheap but it's possible. But if a person wanted to purchase a weight training system, that is practically a local pick-up item. But most items are shipable at a reasonable cost.
