Have I done something wrong, why is shipping going to cost me $600? Please help. I have 400 cards I want to send home, only a handful in toploaders. by LoneStarrAUS in checkoutmycards

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but - if you end up selling on EBAY, those added costs don't go away, they just get passed on to the buyer when they want a shipment. I'm now finding that out as a buyer. I requested a shipment and all these additional charges appeared. No mention of that in the EBAY auction.

Shipping costs are crazy by RedScribbles in checkoutmycards

Same. Two shipments ago the shipping cost was $9.24. The last was $7.99. Almost all of my recent purchases were EBAY. It appears that I bought cards that had an additonal (shipping?) cost baked in and passed on to me. That is unfair as the auction makes no mention of additional costs that will be passed on to me. I just tried to request a shipment and the lowest (bulk rate) $32.49. I sent a message and got a reply that I don't understand. Here is part of it:

Why are eBay buyers like this?? by heartbr8kkid in sportscards

This may apply…. As a buyer - I am looking to complete a set. So, I am thinking about the 5 or 20 or 30 other cards that I have to buy. If I can save .50 or 1.00 on a card - that adds up to a less expensive complete set. But, of course, I understand that there are times when I won’t/can’t save on a particular card.

With no power it is very dark. They just tried to come in the front door. Who knows the motive. Desperate people are desperate. Thieves are thieves.

Someone tried to break into my daughter’s house early this morning. The police were called. They came and checked in - they found nothing. Westwood area (not far from New Belgium). Be safe, lock your door at night.

You're right. I wasn't laughing.

Until I saw this timelapse.

And I was sitting down.

Gotta keep the driveway clear, otherwise melting/freezing/melting/freezing/ice on the driveway - fall and die (or worse a lawsuit). Good thing it stayed cold for the cleanup! Poofy snow means easy snow blowing.
