Hilarious. If only what he does could get something accomplished. Unfortunately, feebay are the only auction gods (devils) out there. Can't wait for the alternative. Also, check out his other listings. I read some. They all are like this and he has over 70 things listed. Some have different variations. In one he has 3 cents shippings in hopes that it will mess up feebay's accounting books. HAHA. He's my feebay hero.

I don't get it. He seems to be mad at Ebay about something but his listing just seems to be random.

The fees for shipping are included now because people would sell an item for $0.01 buy it now, and $199.99 shipping, and getting away with only a fee on that $0.01... which is cheating ebays system. so if you were legitimately using ebay, then the new few to shipping only hurts you a few cents... just charge more shipping

You are right..I personallly over charge shipping plus insurance..but anytime i get that email from them, talking about raising fees...it makes me cringe.

It's not fair to the buyers to have to jack up the shipping cost to compensate for FeePay greed. If their Final Value Fees were not so darned high, they wouldn't have sellers trying to find ways to "cheat".

I had given up on selling on FeePay years ago when they raised the FVF's by nearly double in one jump. They gave us free listing fees (big deal, my listing fee was 5 cents back then) for a while to compensate.

So when I ended up with a box of 2011 dimes before they were in circulation much, I decided to share them with other collectors via FeePay. I wasn't trying to profit from this, just cover my expenses. So I'm speaking from recent experience...

I figured in order to break even, I had to charge about double (Buy-It-Now $9.99) of the original price for the $5 roll dimes, and $5 for Priority Mail shipping, for a total of about triple the items original price. By the time I figured in the original $5 cost, the listing fee, the optional photo fees, the final value fee, the new added shipping fee (that I had not charged more to compensate for because I didn't know about it when I listed the item), my actual shipping cost, and the mandatory PayPal fees on the $14.99, I actually lost money. I cancelled the rest of my listings and I'm done with selling on FeePay. I'm not going to help FeePay to fleece buyers by jacking my prices up to more than triple the original item cost just to sell something and try to break even.

The buyers on FeePay get stuck paying through the nose if a seller has to cover all of their fees, let alone to try and make some profit to compensate for the time spent.

I am currently selling some video games on Ebay. I hate the new seller limits and you almost have to get stuff for free to make a profit anymore :C.
