There is a lot of logic to it LovesB. Because if I only have so much money and the pony with the shipping is past what I have but I almost have all of it...why am I considered a time waster for trying to get it with what I do have even if it is only 3.00 or 2.00 less? That really is not a fair way to look at a buyer. I am not wasting your time if I am trying to buy something you are selling. If its 50.00 plus 3.00 shipping and I only have 47.00 to spend its worth it to me to try to see if I can get it for that. If sellers think that someone like me trying to save a couple of dollars is a time waster then something is wrong with this system and the way people are assessed on ebay.

If sellers think that someone like me trying to save a couple of dollars is a time waster then something is wrong with this system and the way people are assessed on ebay.just to play devils advocate, then why do you say its time wasting for the seller? if the buyer is immune to being called a time waster on the basis of the same few dollars here? i mean buyers are already immune to almost everything on ebay nowadays.. lets not give them the immunity from being a time waster too. Just saying. edit to add: i also want to say i see it as a benefit to offer BIN for both parties, plus it allows both buyers and sellers to test the market so to speak, with time and offers. i appreciate the fact that i can set bins on my items, it helps me determine market value within a few weeks. if the nibbles are few and far between then i need to drop my price, if they come in in droves with offers as soon as i list, means i need to let it sit and watch the market for a bit. and if i have a quick sell i know my item was priced fairly.
It is a annoying game! If The seller never replys, I never offer anything else ever when Items expire. I have had 1 person reply after the expiring best offer. The other sellers that price their items so High is beyond me. I would love to know their reasoning for setting such a super high price? For example when shopping for a pony I will see one for 20 plus dollars plus shipping & handling than right next to that pony is another one much cheaper with free shipping & handling. I think it would be a no brainer there. I do get wanting to get your money back on these ponys, but some people are beyond insane. I will often see what the most expensive item is for something im searching for just for giggles- does anyone else do this?
