[Coco] Ebay shipping padding $

[Al Hartman]

I don't think this is true. EBay does now charge seller fees on shipping charges as people were doing $1.00 auctions with a huge shipping charge to avoid paying seller fees.

I always pad my shipping to cover EBay's fees. I have to.

This is often a way used to reduce the cut that ebay gets of the sale fees as ebay doesn't charge fees on the handling charge.

I am not opposed to someone trying to get top dollar for what they are selling but put in a higher minimum starting bid. Don't ‎try to hide profit in an inflated shipping quote

Possibly eBay's concern was that you didn't quote the educational postal
rate that things like books and CDs qualify for. Saves quite a bit.
