We're getting way sidetracked now but it's all part of the discussion on where to buy.
eBay started charging FVF on shipping because of sellers who charged $0.99 for the item and $50 for shipping. Hm....can you say put the price of the item in the shipping costs??? So eBay lost out on fees because they only collected on the $0.99 AND some sellers only refund item costs not shipping, also before eBay changed things. So you'd get your $0.99 back but not the $50 in shipping. Gee thanks seller! ffft!
I have a very strong opinion on no handling fees. I hate it! I think it's stupid and you're shooting yourself in the foot. It annoys me to no end buyers who say well, I also sell and I don't charge handling fees like YOU do! Well you're dum and apparently like to lose money. I'd never say that to them but dang do I think it!! lol
You may think you're being nice to the buyer by not charging anything extra but adding $1 - $3 depending on the packaging involved, helps make up for the fees you pay on the shipping costs. If you're shipping costs you $6 and you pay fees on the $6 you're not even really getting the postage money to mail the item. Bad, bad, bad!
Do calculated plus a small handling fee to help even things out.
