    Default I didn't know you could do this.

    Call me crazy, but I thought there was a rule against using shipping for eBay fees:

    He just comes right out and says it:
    The shipping/handling fee is $14.01. That's how I save on my ebay fees!!

    Yeah dumb. He should just say "This includes a handling fee for my time- labor- and packing expenses." Or better yet. Say nothing at all since many buyers don't even look at the S&H--- just the price.

    Unfortunately for buyers, I think there are many sellers who use this questionable techique.

    The buyer wants the game. The buyer should pay the associated expenses & fees. That's how stores work-- every penny a store spends on advertising, lighting, heating, rent-- all of it comes from the buyer's pocket.

    Yep...
    But this eBay'er is a bit of a dumbass for actually putting that in his listing.

    The point is, it's illegal to do so on eBay. Yes, many of us do it, but you DON'T say that outloud on your auction.

    I tend to quote my shipping costs a couple of dollars less then actual cost. I state this in my auctions and it................ damn that girls hot ....... ......... .......... err... sorry about that...... normally pays off as I find that the item goes for more then I expect.

    Dang it.

    Check out the movie Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Republic to see most of Ms Carlson. Very nicey nice scenery in that movie...

    Wait, so the auction is still going? I reported it, TWICE, with different reasons to pull the auction.

    Dammit!

    Edit:
    The auction's ended but they started another one. So I reported the new auction for excessive shipping to evade fees and information on how to copy games. Fuck that seller.
