FAST AND FURIOUS SELLERS WILL SCAM YOU ON SHIPPING AND HANDLING BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY VERSUS ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES.  Please Beware..there are some dishonest sellers charging an outrageous amount to ship small products. I purchased two small I Love Lucy purses and was charged almost $50.00 for S&H. Cost of postage was $7.00.   My mistake was I didn't read the S&H closely.  What the seller does is start the bidding at 0.01 and then charges $25.00 for S&H to mail from a stateside to stateside address on a single item.   When questioned about the high S&H charges the seller said it is to cover handling.  It's a scam.  The seller does this to cover her profit and her fees.  The seller is GEESBAGS.  She is no longer registered under that ID and what she was doing is clearly against Ebay policy to use S&H to cover fees.  So BEWARE of her and other sellers like her who will scam you on S&H.  I reported her to Ebay along with a number of other buyers but it takes Ebay a while to take action on cases like this.  This leaves plenty of time for others to get burned. GEESBAGS operates under multiple IDs, allowed by EBay and is now operating as GRAZIE100. BUYER BEWARE: the seller starts the bidding a bit higher for the purses but is still doing the 1 cent scam for small wallets. It will cost a buyer double the amount to ship a small item. This is especially true when you purchase more than one item. This seller also engages in retaliatory negative feedback when identified.  If you find yourself dealing with a seller who charges high S/H report them to Ebay by clicking on the "Help" icon located at the top of the Ebay homepage.  Type in report a seller. Circumventing fees will come up and there is a step by step process to report these offenses. Ebay states they depend on buyers to report these offenses.  We all need to do our part to help make Ebay a safer place to trade. Ebay is also part of the problem by allowing sellers to use multiple user IDs to continue their scam.

 If a seller starts the bidding very low it is likely the S&H charges are very high. If the shipping charges are "not specified" this is a huge flag.  The seller is most likely selling fake merchandise and wants to see what the item sold for before assessing shipping charges.  The seller wants to use the S/H charges to ensure profit.  THE SHIPPING CHARGES WILL BE HIGH GUARANTEED!!! I have also noticed sellers who charge very high S/H rates for designer purses and wallets and designer clothes. They do this to cover the fees Ebay charges for listing luxury items like Fendi, Gucci, Burberry, Chanel, Dolce etc..This is also against Ebay policy to charge high S/H to cover fees. Think about it..why would it cost $25-$50 to ship a designer bag or $20.00+ to ship a pair of designer dress pants or shirt and insurance is NOT included? You can also report a seller for charging excessive shipping and handling. Simply go to the help icon and click on report a seller. The latest craze are the outrageous amounts sellers are charging to ship the Anya Hindmarch bag, "I'm Not A Plastic Bag." It cost about $8.00 to ship the bag stateside and about $18.00 internationally. Sellers are charging anywhere from $15.00-40.00 to ship this bag.  It is a scam! A FAKE COSTS A SELLER ABOUT $6.00..SO WITH HIGH SHIPPING THEY MAKE THEIR PROFIT.  IF A BAG HAS HIGH SHIPPING OR SHIPPING CHARGES "NOT SPECIFIED" ......RED FLAG..IT'S A FAKE!!

I also wrote guides about the fake Anya and Fendi bags on Ebay.  I have listed some of the traps trusting buyers can fall into.  I know because I fell head first. The fakes on Ebay in all areas are out of control. These sellers are criminals who are committing fraud and are depending on YOU the buyer to be uninformed and stupid. Prove them wrong!! The high shipping charges is just one of a number of scams these diseased maniacs are involved in. Multiple IDs, fake IDs and shill bidding are some of the others.

Remember Murphy's law...If it sounds too good to be true..it probably is. Most designer items on Ebay are fake and are made by adults and children who work in horrible conditions for slave wages. Profits from pirated products supports terrorism and organized crime around the world. EBAY SUPPORTS PIRACY BY ALLOWING FAKES TO BE LISTED AND RELISTED. BUYERS ARE RIPPED OFF EVERY DAY. ALMOST ALL TIFFANY, GUCCI, BURBERRY, FENDI, ARMANI, JUICY, LAMB, COACH, CHANEL, PRADA ABERCROMBIE, ETC ON EBAY ARE FAKE!!!

This fake merchandise is coming by the boatload out of China, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. It is available all over the internet.  A company from China called Trade Key sells knockoff designer wear and it is all over Ebay. UNETHENCIAL SELLERS BUY THIS CRAP IN BULK AND SELL IT TO TRUSTING UNIFORMED BUYERS ON EBAY. DESIGNERS NEVER SELL WHOLESALE..HUGE RED FLAG IF THE SELLER HAS ITEMS FOR SALE AT WHOLESALE! Ask questions before you bid.  If the seller acts like you are questioning their integrity by asking legitimate questions to verify authenticity or shipping charges..huge red flag. They are selling fake merchandise and will overcharge you to send it to you. Don't shop victoriously....SHOP WISELY, READ THE GUIDES PERTAINING TO YOUR DESIGNER ITEM BEFORE YOU BUY AND REMEMBER WHEN IT COMES TO MONEY.. DISHONEST PEOPLE LIE.. A LOT.. JUST BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS AUTHENTIC DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS!  

FAKE LABELS AND FAKE TAGS ARE SEWN INTO AND ARE ON FAKE MERHCANDISE. GET SMART ON WHAT THE REAL ONES LOOK LIKE. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK FOR CORRECT SHIPPING COST BY GOING TO USPS.COM AND TYPE IN YOUR ZIP CODE AND THE SELLER'S ZIP CODE THEN ESTIMATE THE WEIGHT.  DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE SCAMMERS! ALSO BE AWARE OF THE SELLERS WHO DO NOT COMBINE SHIPPING WHEN BUYING MULTIPLE ITEMS. ALWAYS ASK ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOU BID IF IT DOESN'T MENTION THIS IN THE AD. SOME BUYERS THINK SELLERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY DO COMBINE SHIPPING..NOT SO..BECAUSE SOME SELLERS HAVE THEY NEED FOR GREED.... SO BUYER BEWARE!
