LOL Don't get me started on that one, either. I would really like to see eBay put in some sort of regulations in this regard. I don't know how many times I have clicked on something to look at it, and discovered that while the price might be a few dollars, the seller wanted to cahrge up to $80, even over $100 to ship it!
I can certainly understand that especially when buying something from a seller who lives halfway around the world, one should expect to pay a higher shipping charge than if the seller lives in the same country as the buyer, and having been a seller a few times myself, I know that packing something up, etc. takes time, and work, and frequently money, to purchase packing materials, etc. so if people want to add on a reasonable handling fee, that is understandable.
However, these ridiculously high shipping fees that are frequently buried in acres of small print are CLEARLY designed to take advantage of buyers who may be in a hurry, new to eBay and less sophisticated about what to look for before clicking Buy or bid, etc, and while I will be the first to say that yes, everyone should always read all that fine print carefully, and if the shipping is not clearly stated, then email the seller and obtain an email from them clearly stating what the total cost of shipping and handling would be BEFORE committing yourself. But people are human, and not everybody is as savvy and wily and cautious and thorough as they should be, and those are the people who are being preyed on, and I would really like to see eBay oblige them to go prey somewhere else!
