I was wondering how many people buy from Ebay? I love Ebay!!!!! I collect Wonder Woman merchandise and you can hardly find Wonder Woman merchandise anywhere. You can also get some good deals on Ebay if you know what you are looking for. You really have to know your prices.

I agree, I love e-bay too, but knowing your prices is important, I shop around and then check with e-bay, you have to be careful and calculate the shipping cost, but I've found many good deals there, including Merricks Bully Sticks.

I love eBay! It really bugs me when some sellers overcharge on shipping. I presume if they do that then they don't have to pay eBay as much.

Yes, your right, fees are a percentage of the price you charge and don't include shipping, so some sellers think they are getting out of paying e-bay by doing this. E-bay says that if you believe a seller has excessive shipping charges, you are to report them.

Oh, I didn't know I could report them. When I was looking for a bird cage I saw some sellers listing the cage for .99 (or BIN at 4 or 5 dollars) and then charging $30+ for shipping.

That's exactly what they want you to report. I can't remember where I saw it, but I know I saw it.

No more Paypal? What are they going to replace it with? I though E-bay invented Paypal.

Yes they call me the Ebay queen. I have gotten 4 cars, 1 boat and my camper on ebay. You do have to know what you are doing, as with anything buyer beware.

I was just doing a search for Cowboy Magic and the seller had a flat shipping charge of 7.95. The 8.00 and 39.40 size had the same 7.95 shipping.

I love eBay, you just have to shop smart on there or you'll end up paying way over the normal price for something.

wonderwoman41 · 10-20-2008, 09:11 AM

Wow, that's cool to buy 4 cars and a boat and camper. Did you ever have any trouble with any of them? I buy little things. I don't think I would ever buy expensive jewelry like diamonds. You never know if they are mossanite or ziamond or cz. You go by their feedback but you still never know.
