Re: Rita...I'm trying to understand

"Other than that, I don’t have to justify my shipping charges to anyone. Until eBay states a policy for limiting the amount of shipping charges a seller can apply, I will happily continue with my current policy of, “I will charge what I think to be fair, and reply to any inquiries directly related to any of my auctions on eBay”"

Below is a copy of ebays shipping policy. Note the 'reasonable costs'. Bear in mind you stated that the Hagar set would be shipped FEDEX yet you know FEDEX will not ship chips. I have seen people kicked off ebay for far lesser shipping charges than $20.

The seller is responsible for determining the shipping and handling charges on listings, and eBay encourages sellers to clearly describe the item and terms of shipping and delivery in their listings to avoid possible confusion. Before bidding on an auction or buying in a fixed-price listing, bidders/buyers should contact the seller about any questions they might still have that are not directly answered in the item's description.

Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fee to the final price of their item, providing that this fee is disclosed up front in the listing. A shipping and handling fee can cover the seller's reasonable costs for mailing, packaging and handling the item. Shipping and handling fees cannot be listed as a percentage of the final sale price.

When a bid is placed, the bidder is entering into an agreement with the seller to purchase the item, which most often means incurring shipping charges that may also include handling fees.

In the case of disagreements between buyers and sellers regarding shipping charges, eBay encourages the parties to try to work the matter out. Usually these situations can be amicably resolved.
