see my store for more pins
Please read this, and see pictures.
several points, worth making, so we are on the ''same'' page !
if this happens to be a $5 auction, after all the fee's are paid, I make $3.93 WOW.
NOW that's presuming I break even on the shipping and my 13/6% of your state tax. I make a whopping $3.93 cents.
(then see price of packing peanuts, see pictures
$3.93 isn't much ! I can hardly buy a beer for that ! IN fact, I'm not sure of any restaurant selling a beer that cheap !
I have LOTS,, TONS of good feedback, IF I was cheating folks, my feedback wouldn't be so good!
believe my shipping statement below,, I'm trying to make this fair for both of us.

Shipping, DO NOT PAY until you get an INVOICE from " Me the Seller"
again don't pay until I send you an invoice, DO NOT PAY before you get an INVOICE with personal
comment in the comments section,,
I think ebay sends out an invoice directly after the auction, telling you.... you've won.. and the price
DON"T pay ___ WAIT ..
SHIPPING: Here's what I do so you don't over pay and I don't lose...
I don't pack items before the auction, so I really don't know the exact weight, or size of box..
SO, (for the weight listed in the auction) I add a few lbs to the actual weight, the price showing as computed by ebay is too high. almost 100% of the time... Once the item sells, I can compute the shipping price, exactly. Shipping prices are too high and ebay makes it worse.. (see below)
Please, just standby for an invoice from Me the Seller. ME will be stated in the invoice.....
I will make sure your not paying too much, but the exact amount. I have never and have no intention of making money on shipping !!
SHIPPING CRAZY
Yes shipping is crazy,, up up and up some more, I feel guilty shipping some things
especially to the US east coast,, yes Idaho is a ways away, but , really how much
is too much... I do what I can to get the best deal, but a good deal in todays
shipping world are hard to find, once again I apologize , however, it's out of my control..
again WAIT for Me the Seller INVOICE before you pay,, you will get a better price.
and another reason shipping is high READ THIS
first here's ebays statement on their fees page Note #3 and see one of the pictures in the auction !
We charge one final value fee when your item sells.. This fee is
calculated as a percentage
of the total amount of the sale, plus $0.40
per order.
2. handling charges (I don't every charge handling)
3. shipping Oh YES !! they charge 13.6 %
(just think, the more shipping costs, the more ebay makes)
4. State sales tax, YES ebay even charges 13.6% on the tax.
SEE EXAMPLE picture in this auction,
EBAY Charges 13.6% on the auction and the shipping,
YES the shipping too, AND YES Sales TAX TOO OUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then adds 40 cents.
as they say, a nice job if you can get it ,, :-)
Ebay always pushes sellers to offer Free Shipping, great Idea, but if I'm selling a 10 Lb electronic device
for $5 and the shipping is $ 20+ I lose , so generally I can't and don't offer free shipping,
AND I apologize about shipping costs, they just keeps going up and up, I guess that's the sign of the times.
Please note, I have ton's of 100% good feedback, I've been Ebaying
since Sept 20, 1998. I'm not trying to cheat anyone.
PLEASE READ BELOW, BEFORE BIDDING
Returns: I have good feedback, lots of what I sell is old electronics,
you are advised that I make every attempt to describe the "product" correctly, Many of
my auctions are only $5 , I can't be held at gun point by Ebay with their crazy policies
about returns... Look at my feedback I'm not trying to rip anyone off,
my feedback says it all, I don't sell anything without full disclosure about any defects I know about..
Disclaimer: I try to describe my for-sale items, in a fair manner, and not inflate the
condition. I am a collect-a-holiac, and many of the things I am selling, I have had
for many years, some over 25 years. Others may have been acquired only weeks ago..
Some may never have been powered on, in which case I won't claim they are "Working"
in my description. I promise that I will list any known defects in my description ,
BUT that doesn't mean there might not be something wrong that I don't know about.
Many of my sales are old electronic things, the pots and switches, etc, could be a bit
noisy. The item maybe dusty and dirty and need a little (maybe a lot) elbow grease
and Windex to make them look good.
Lots of my auctions are Ham Radio Estates of old friends that are SK, helping the XYL's..
