So I've been an ebay seller for 18 yrs now (1/17/99), and have never had much trouble with the shipping options, until now.
I decided to try and sell some star notes. I saw other sellers listing shipping at around $1, so I put my shipping (standard shipping) at $1. I sold a $10 and $1 bill, and was paid right away. Did well on the $10 ($20.50), but only $1.04 on the $1 bill. Anyway, the least expensive shipping option with tracking is $2.61! So how is a seller supposed to ship this type of stuff? I decided I'm just going to put a stamp on an envelope, and let the chips fall where they may. I do realize I'm exposing myself to an Item Not Received complaint, but what else should I do?
How do the other sellers ship notes and only charge $1? Are they doing what I did, and just keeping their fingers crossed, or what?
