I just saw a DVD for auction at $3.50 starting price.Sounds reasonable right,theres just one small catch.They want $20.00US to mail this to Canada.Boy, gas must really be expensive where she lives.Let's get real.Any Ebay buyer with a little bit of experience knows what's going on.Most sellers also know because they are the ones doing it.The only one who doesn't seem to know is Ebay.Sellers are placing items in auctions at low prices to suck in buyers and then they exploit them with exagerated S&H charges and this is to avoid paying Ebay charges,so they make more money.I have started to add to my feedback if I feel someone has overcharged or charged are fair price for shipping so others will know.I hope more buyers will do the same.As for overcharging,I could tell you quite a few stories about this problem.It seems to be getting more and more common and the only ones it is going to hurt in the end is the sellers because people just won't buy from them.All buyers want is a fair deal and we'll buy more.
