Don't Let Low Starting Bids and High Shipping Get YOU!!

Hello,

Many sellers on Ebay will offer a great item that costs quite a bit in the store at a very low starting bid, with no reserve. However, they will get you on the shipping price if you're not careful. Always check the shipping rate, when you first check the bid. Many times there are sellers that sell for cheap, and make a hefty profit on the shipping rate. An example, I see all time time is NFL Football Jerseys. When I sell them I charge $4, what it actually costs to send a jersey in the first class US mail. I have seen sellers have $29.95 to ship a NFL Jersey. That should be a crime. It is highly inflated and wrong to cheat the customer, in that manner. The only time a shipping rate should every be that high is if the seller is offering overnight shipping. I just wanted to take a moment to make future buyers aware of the SHIPPING INFLATORS of the Ebay Community, and to make sure you check the shipping rates, they can make a difference.

Thanks,
