They (USPS) are trying to stay up with UPS and FedEx.
That being said, Ebay is no fun anymore. Too many people selling the same JDK junk or whatever it is.... the stuff from the catalog you see on the infomercial... it is hard to find the real bargain when you have duplicated od the same garbage. Beware also of fake software-- I was trying to buy a copy of Word for my old Mac and there was a Word-like "shell" or something so cheap but when you actually read about it, is not software, it is like a PDF mechanism or something.
Anyway, I agree that everyone is trying to scam you wth shipping. And how do you make any money on an item that sells for 2.00 if eBay takes like 20 per cent of it (what is the latest amt? I have not sold through them in a long time)...
anyway, the ebay market is saturated...
Thanks for the info!
