NOT TO DEFEND ANYONE'S SHIPPING CHARGES, BUT PLEASE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ON ALL ITEMS THAT YOU BID ON EBAY ADD THE SHIPPING COSTS IN ALONG WITH YOU BIDS AND BID ACCORDINGLY. A LOT OF EBAY SELLERS CHARGE A LOT FOR SHIPPING SO THEY CAN AFFORD TO SELL FOR LESS AS THEY DON'T PAY EBAY COMMISSIONS ON SHIPPING. EXAMPLE: SELLER #1 CHARGES $15 FOR SHIPPING AND SELLS A STRIKE FOR $20 TOTAL COST $35. SELLER#2 CHARGES $2.00 SHIPPING AND SELLS THE SAME STRIKE FOR $33 AGAIN TOTAL COST $35. THE SAME OUTCOME RIGHT? NO! SELLER #1 PAYS EBAY FINAL VALUE FEES ON $20 WHEREAS SELLER #2 PAYS FINAL VALUE FEES ON $33.

I HATE TO TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HAD SOME IDIOT COME INTO MY STORE AND TELL ME HE PAID ONLY $2.00 ON EBAY FOR SOMETHING I'M SELLING FOR
$2.50. BUT WHEN I ASK THEM HOW MUCH THEY PAID FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY GET REAL QUIET. SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET IT. WELL TIME TO GET OFF THIS SOAP BOX, JUST MY 2-1/2 CENTS WORTH.
