ebay $1 item, $119 for shipping

[thahenchman]

wonder if anyone will actually bid.

 

[Anubis]

someone will, they do it to get around the cut that ebay takes out of it

 

[Maximus96]

i thought ebay has some rules against that but i'm not sure. i've seen others sell software for $0.01 and $499 to ship.

....You don't know what he will say?

If you care enough, report the auction to ebay and it should be pulled.

Ya, obviously he'd say yes. I'm sure he'd more than love to avoid those expensive shipping costs.

*grin*

 

[lavagirl669]

wtf?

 

[trmiv]

That's not a bad deal on those I guess. Most places online seem to have them for $130 plus shipping. So $120 shipped isn't bad.

 

[AkumaX]

i remember when gamecube came out some guy started bid @ $1 and $345 for shipping

Fight the man!

 

[imported_Tomato]

I called and asked if I could pick it up locally to avoid shipping costs, and he said no. 😛

Time to report the auction then. :evil:

 

[oogabooga]

hahaha yea, this isn't new.

It seems more likely some sap will purchase the item by mistake, not realzing the 120 dollar shipping charge.

 

[SP33Demon]

Someone bought it with Buy It Now!!

Yes, I saw that...

I wonder if it is someone who will actually pay for it, or just someone who is pissed about the shipping and wants to neg the seller.

🙂

 

[trmiv]

The person who bought it might know what the shipping was. If the person who bought it knows the final price is $120, there is no problem. Like I said above, $120 shipped for those goggles is a fair price, because they are hard to find under $130 plus shipping anywhere online.

 

[iwearnosox]

This is fee avoidance, it would be easy to have this guys account terminated.

 

[dabuddha]

Someone should bid this thing up to $50000+

 

[aolj]

By selling the goggles for $1, don't he get a low charge by ebay? I thought ebay doesn't charge fees on shipping cost?
