I see they charge a 5% of FVF handling fee. I wonder how many people complain about shipping???

Kind of reminds me of the 10% buyer's premium for local auctions.

At least it is clear what handling fee to expect.

Oh I wasn't critizing them. It is a smart business decision that recognizes shipping costs are much more than just postage.

I just thought it was interesting. Try it on Ebay and see if you don't get hate mail from buyers!

Interesting and quirky. To get est. shipping cost, you have to put in zip *and* state. Like the same zip can be in more than one state. And calling the %5 a handling fee when the shipping is already twice actual postage is funny.

They seem to be getting bids on books that I can't give away. Go figure.

I emailed them once because they had estimated 2 lbs for one magazine for shipping. First, they changed the shipping to 1 lb and then they told me they were required to ship UPS. UPS for one magazine is a little expensive. I get some pretty good deals there occasionally.
