And free international shipping is unreasonable and unfair on some people who live in countries with excessively high postage prices [sorry Aus, NZ and Canada!!!]
Quote from: hathorcat on March 08, 2012, 03:36:22 AMAnd free international shipping is unreasonable and unfair on some people who live in countries with excessively high postage prices [sorry Aus, NZ Thankyou lol - this is exactly why I state in all my auctions right up the top in big red lettering - "BEFORE PLACING A BID: Please ask for a postage quote, costs are my costs to post the item to you alone, I do not charge for packaging or handling fees, postage only, however, I do send everything registered, within Australia this is an extra charge of $3.05AU, overseas it varies depending on the weight & where it is going to. Please be aware overseas postage can be pricey, and this is something I can not do anything about. I do offer combined postage and am more than happy to let you know how much to send one or multiple items before you place a bid. Please be aware that the price shown for postage in the listing may not be correct."That is a direct copy & paste out of the finished auction. There is one small line of text above it. I don't know how much more straight up front I can be for people, including newbies.I am just glad most people are good about it and are leaving me good feedback as well as 5 star positives Post Merge: March 08, 2012, 05:46:43 PMI got a message back from her stating that it was a mistake and that she would try to be more careful when leaving feedback next time, I am glad that my rating is up, it just upsets me when I strive so hard to try to keep a good rating, and try to educate people about what the star system is as ebay doesn't care, but you still have lower star ratings left.I just hope it will be a lesson for her with other purchases she makes in the future, and that hopefully unless the seller actually deserves the rating, that she will leave a higher rating or at least contact the seller first.

I dont understand ebays desperation to force sellers to offer free shipping...sometimes I think the next thing they will do away with is auctions so that everything is a buy it now...like a marketplace Amazon.
Free shipping is an interesting idea domestically but when you are selling a common G3 and get 99p to £2 for it...free shipping becomes silly and if you build shipping into the basic starting price then you wont get any buyers because it makes the pony too expensive for what it is...
