People who overcharge for shipping (aka "S&H") - Do you really expect me to believe it costs $6.95 to send a cotton long sleeve t-shirt for a 2 year old??? $2, 3 maybe but $7? I never buy from people who overcharge purely on principle.

Re: ebay vent
The S&H isn't just postage -- they are including packing materials and trying to offset some of their paypal & ebay fees.

Re: ebay vent
I know that. I dont have a problem with the packing materials part - although I've received (and used) many packages that used USPS envelopes) but the fees recoup part is their problem...Im also a seller and I would never jack up the S&H to try to get the fees back.

Re: ebay vent
I charge $5 shipping on anything that can fit in the USPS Priority Evelope; and $8 for anything in the priority box. That's how much it costs at the post office...

Re: ebay vent
I overcharge a little on shipping to cover my other costs, but sometimes I offer free shipping on some of my buy it now items. I dont go crazy when I over charge though. If the shipping is too much - I am sure someone else has the same item at a lower shipping cost Scott

Re: ebay vent
unless it is something breakable that requires additional packaging materials (an expense to me), I put it in a priority box and charge exactly that for shipping. I don't understand these people that charge $10+ for shipping, I think it's insane!

Re: ebay vent
I agree... I find it incredibly annoying and try to avoid buying from those vendors.
