Ugh, I completely understand what you mean! I usually ask the seller to mark it as a gift and mark a lower value and that always helps. But there are times that some sellers won't do that, and unless it's something that I really want, I'll just try to find it somewhere else. I just bought a grooming table off of Ebay and it was sent by UPS. I had to pay $40 in brokerage fees. Only $8 of that was in taxes, and the rest was charged as brokerage fees. I wish the seller had sent it USPS. |
