Excessive Shipping charges on eBay

We were discussing this the other day.

2. Well what does one expect from a fur selling asshole?

If they had any morals or decency at all they'd be in a different business. :grr:

Edit: Also, that's the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Immoral and in bad taste. :puke:

3. Are they buying it a round-trip first class ticket?

What a ripoff. I ship stuff every day and know how much it costs. It's an uglyass coat anyway.

7. I'm sure they are trying to get away with not giving eBay their cut.

eBay does not take a percentage of shipping charges,
eBay only takes a percentage of the final bidding price.
The only reason I came across this is I was looking for a cane with a brass crocodile head handle.

4. Forget shipping; that's the ugliest jacket ever.

It's made from skin that was needlessly ripped from chinchillas and alligators and then arranged in the most hideous arrangement possible.

Poor animals. :(

6. You only have to pay eBay based on selling price

report such items to eBay and they will pull them. Unless it is ok to scam eBay by selling at a low price with a huge shipping fee.

8. No, this is not OK with eBay

I'm sure this will be pulled soon and next to the persons name it will say "No longer a registered user". They kick you off for this kind of crap.
