I came across this seller while browsing eBay last night. They caught my eye because they're selling numerous expensive items in one-day auctions, all starting at $1. All auctions carry a $20 shipping charge, no matter the size of the item (except for a couple of GBA SPs, they have free shipping).
The thing that most caught my eye was that no insurance was offered. So, I e-mailed the seller and asked what the shipping method would be, and if insurance could be purchased if I paid the extra cost for it.
The response? "USPS, and no."
No mention of which particular USPS method (thought I can guess it would be whatever is cheapest, and the rest of that $20 would be a "handling" fee). And no insurance, even at the buyers request and with additional payment? Sounds quite fishy to me. What do you all think?
