Shipping Charges FAIR Vs. UNFAIR: How to Report It!

Alot of sellers are overcharging on shipping. But if you as the buyer, bids on that item, you honestly agreed to the shipping terms without knowing it. Therefore, they are your responsibility, no matter how fair they are. Avoid being scammed by these sellers, by first of all READING THE WHOLE AUCTION! If it says shipping is free at the top, make sure it doesn't say with buy it now only in the description or some other terms. If shipping is 19.99 on a 0.01 item, then you are agreeing that the item is worth 20 bucks. Second of all, AVOID sellers that overcharge on their shipping. They will be forced to either stop selling or pay fees like the rest of us. One reason sellers overcharge on shipping is to get a "kickback" persay that is not included in okay's final value fees. Legal? No! Do they get away with it? Yes! But you can report them here:Report Listing Violations! Now, is it illegal to charge a handling fee? NO! And a lot of sellers do charge a very reasonable handling fee. I personally only charge 0.25 cents on my First Class items to cover the cost of my polymailers and delivery confirmation. I don't charge for my time, paper, printing labels, or gas to drive back and forth to the post office. Some sellers feel that they have to charge a little more while others feel they need to charge a little less. It is perfectly okay to charge a reasonable amount, but its when that reasonable amount goes crazy that it begees a problem.As a Seller and a Buyer, I have discovered a few ways to save on shipping.
