Michael R ANA #173222 mrae7 Ebay/Yahoo I should have used the title attempted fee avoidance. :-) ALL CAPS in a large red font, to be avoided just for that of course. Billy |

This guy loves Americans - what a fine bloke. |

Please list your eBay ID so I never purchase anything from you, you shmuck! I think the above logic falls considerably short. Reporting to eBay is the proper think to do. Otherwise, the seller who practices fee avoidance can have a nice advantage over other sellers who follow the rules. Two young employees once came to my office and tipped me off about another employee who was stealing from me. I took care of the situation but the two informants were badly treated because they were "rats". Never once did it enter my mind that the two informants would have been happy Nazis.

Show me where eBay has any regulation on what a seller can charge for shipping. Oh that's right, you can't, because it doesn't exist. There's no advantage either since any bidder is going to take the shipping charge into mind when deciding what to bid. No, no, ratting to eBay is just a weasly thing to do. |
