Isnt priority flat rate $3.85? - Me



don't you want confirmation? it's $.45 so it's over $4 and i have to drive there to ship it for you. You expect people to pay for gas?

How much you think you will pay on ebay for shipping? $10?15? please be considerate

write back if you find a better deal - His response


First off, confirmation is free if you print the label out online (could still buy the postage at the post office). Secondly, I'm sorry, I thought the package was going to ship itself, otherwise I would have taken into consideration that you have to physically take it there. Also, maybe you should have included a gas quote in your price as well. Finally, it seems as though your used to ripping off the morons on ebay with shipping, which is exactly where you belong. - My response
 
$4 for shipping, plus $2 for packaging plus $1 for gas to drive to the post office plus probably at least $3 for the time it takes him to go to the post office and mail it.


Seems like you're getting a deal to me.

I would say that most people on this trading forum don't do that, including myself. Like KarenMarie said, "cost of doing business".
 
who the fvck cares. this is why I always set a flat shipping rate. if you don't like it, don't buy it.
 
You're being a jackass.

His shipping price is his shipping price. You don't get to argue with it.

God, people like you are what helps to make eBay a sh!tty place sometimes.
 
Tell you what. Give me your Paypal and I'll give you the difference. If, you promise to never post here again. We have enough whinny little bitchezs.

It is simple, just don't deal with the person...

No need to create more drama.
 
Heh, didn't even occur to me that this might not be an eBay transaction...

Like I said, the cost of doing business is passed onto the customer. You don't think the post office has the cost of gas factored into the $3.85 they charge? If they can do it, why can't the seller?

Ah, well.. even better!

You can just walk away if you don't like his price...
 
Don't like his shipping price, then don't buy it! You expect people to conform to your standards all the time? His response still seemed cordail while you want to make an ass of yourself.

I think you are both dickwads.
I sure hope you're not besmirching the hallowed halls of FS/T. Agree or disagree, there's no place for acting like an asshole in trading. That's for here at OT.
You may now resume suckling.

😛 Sorry, didn't mean to be so harsh.. But I hate it when people bitch about shipping because it's more than the actual postage.

In his opinion, the time it takes to deal with your package is worth 4$. If you don't like that price, you're free to shop elsewhere.

If this was eBay, you would be paying 18$ for shipping.. 😉 lol

$8 is fair. Have you calcuated the actual cost? Shipping peanuts can be expensive.
