Shipping is now entirely at the seller's risk. I ship fragile items, and I would be crazy not to ensure them. Even with non-fragile items, dishonest buyers could claim they were damaged and demand refunds. At a minimum of $1.80, insurance adds a lot to the handling fee, and I have no choice but to charge it. Also, eBay now collects a final value fee on the shipping cost, even when it is the actual cost according to the shipping calculator! So eBay is forcing sellers to take a loss on shipping!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240028746583436689.post-29006770567343718642011-05-19T10:47:35.288-07:002011-05-19T10:47:35.288-07:00Hi; According to ebay/feebay...Handling charges ar...Hi; According to ebay/feebay...Handling charges are for the packaging only. They totally discourage charging pal pal fees or any fees including time. I have argued with them on this issue. they seemed to change what shipping and handling is!! <br />Just so you know..12% is what ebay takes on store and buy it now items. and 9% on auctions.leasesqfthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253488844804657048noreply@blogger.com
