Cels on eBay priced down

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZoreQ2dsama

Please see link above. I priced down my cels for
real, BUT the low starting bid is NOT what I
mean. Please add the starting bid to the shipping
cost and substract approx. $15 for actual
shipping and handling to see what they actually
cost. Don't buy impulsively thinking "Great! Only
$24!" without reviewing the shipping cost first!

eBay fees have grown out of hand and so I do as
many sellers do: put the price of the cel in the
shipping field. This may seem false at first, but
I hope that people review shipping costs before
buying to avoid any misunderstandings.

My items are priced down, but again, they WILL
cost more than $24.

Example:
Cel A cost $50 plus $12 shipping. Makes $62.
NOW you see Cel A listed for:
$24 plus shipping $38.
No difference in the total amount but simply
displayed differently,

Concerning shipping:
I can only ship items starting next week. I'm in
Israel till Thursday, getting my new dog on
Friday and on Saturday I have plans. So please
allow some time for shipment (registered), maybe
16 days. You will get a shipping notification
plus registration number.

Thanks for looking!

Errrm have you got your shipping costs right, on the ryoko it says $150 shipping in the bit at the bottom.
Just thought I would let you know.
Good luck with your sales.

That's what I tried to explain in the text above... it's eBay who turned into a greedy fee-bloodsucker...

Doh!!

That'll teach me to engage brain before posting :)

I am not a hater, and I always like to see people save and make an honest profit. However, I do want to point out to all "newbies" that may stumble across this thread to be prudent and wise while conducting business. Try not to put yourself in an unfavorable position when doing business on eBay, because it may get you reported, or worse.

I don't want to "scare you" , but just give you another possible "variation" in which to view this post and situation.

Now, Ore-sama can of course do as she pleases, and I am not making judgements, but "officially" from a Rubberslug.com standpoint we cannot support or condone these types of business practices as correct. That is all.

And of course, to clarify, this has no bearing on her sale/auctions whatsoever. If you see something that she has and want to buy-- by all means-- go for it!!

I am only referring to yourself posting a sale on eBay as mentioned above.

Carry on...
