Buyers out there in Ebay World, its 8/12/08 now. You really need to start carefully read item listings you are interested in. FOR Example: If the Seller takes PayPal or not, and ABOVE ALL Check the Shipping and Handling Price.Because once you have it in a message THAT IS THE PRICE of SHIPPING. Be very careful of SELLERS that do not list their SHIPPING, that opens a whole CAN OF WORMS, if you buy something and no shipping is shown.BE CAREFULL !! Alot of SELLERS out there already STICKIT to people with their outragous shipping and Handling, look at music instrument stores or Ham Radios and Parts or Antennas of any kind, good example there, $10.00 - $20.00+ Shipping Priority Mail, they just made 5 to 12 dollars more off you in Shipping,And when they wont combine shipping on multi items and tell you that S&H for each other item is 1.00 hell they are going to the same box to get the first one why more or they are filling other orders so why pay extra ??? SEE FOR YOURSELF its RUINING EBAY, for the simple fact that by the time you pay for over charged shipping, you could go down town and get the same thing for much less, including gas , Ebay is supposed to be quik and easy to get your items at a reasonable price including S&H, NOT NO MORE. THINK ABOUT IT people.Myself I buy alot of Guitar Pedals,Power Supplies for them. EXAMPLE No.2  I work for USPS and I know what things cost to send on a average, like the Pedals or Power Supplies, you can send them ANYWHERE in the US for $4.65 Priority Mail and if you like check these out, the average is $8.95 - 12.95 for Priority Unlimited Weight Container and mailing fee and for 75 cents more you get a delivery confirmation to this is for any where in the USA and lets talk INSURANCE, PEOPLE ,PEOPLE Insurance is $1.65 per $100.00 not for $50.00 , not this 5-6-7-8 dollars for insurance, the SHIPPERS ARE THE Buyers of the INSURANCE who do you think is making money, 1/2 to you and the other 1/2 to them, so they are making money 2-3 times it something happens, WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ALWAYS PUSH THIS RESPONSIBILITY of the buyer to protect the item. so check this STUFF to ,check with the USPS and see how many claims that seller may or may not have its FREE and the KICKER is that USPS picks these up at their house or office for FREE most areas, PayPal supplies their labels and other shipping items and the Sellers like to use the oldest thing in the book, the PRICE of gas, THAT IS A CROCK, so they are telling you that they dont eat, or pay their bills !! Whats wrong with that PICTURE ?? UPS went up on their rates 1.7% that means $.17cents per, so WHY does the S&H on other items such as Guitars go up over $10.and Lord knows on other things. I really wish that Ebay would put a reign on this outrage stuff BUT THEY WONT its all about MONEY not the CUSTOMER, and the Sellers will blame this for Ebays and PayPals charges and they HAVE TO pass it on, thats BULL HOCKEY if that was the case the Sellers would of left for another site a long time ago, THINK ABOUT IT people.I dont have a problem with ANY ONE making a buck, BUT to rape someone with outragous S&H that cost the BUYER more that the item in alot of cases is BULL HOCKEY, Something to Think About , And make sure you read the item listing and if not at LEAST GET A KISS, and a THANK YOU VERY LITTLE from the SELLER. To the people out there that read this and dont understand it , get yourself a drink, sit down relax and read this again, Im sure you will understand what Im saying, if not you got more money than sense and deserve the high shipping or you have seller buddies that are this way or you are one yourself. LET THE TRUE BE KNOWN.
