Newbie seller and outrageous shipping. | Auction Sniper

annieMember

Check out auction number 4300470306. They have shipping as $19.95!! I checked the zip for Toledo Ohio just as a sample, and it said under $6 to me!! Priority! I think this person is trying to pull a fast one. The vase is $130.00 WITH the dozen roses from teleflora. And we all know they are charging a huge markup. I used to be a florist and I do know the wholesale cost of roses. I really like this vase, but no way I'm going to pay that kind of shipping. Ugggg

I usually just add shipping into the price to figure my bid. Not much differance between an item that's $45 + $20 shipping and another just like it that's $60 + $5 shipping.

I know it's sometimes hard to bid on items with high shipping, but you may actually find the better deal that way. I've often seen people willing to bid an extra 10-20 dollars to save 4-5 dollars on shipping!

She sure would be better off to start her vase a little higher than showing the shipping so extreme!
