Beat this seller at his own game if you live in Illinois!

I almost clicked on the BIN when I realized the shipping was $99.01. The BIN is only $0.99. Here's where you can get around his trick though....

He still has local pickup listed as FREE! Several other of his nice cards are listed the same way.

So if you live in Illinois, you might be able to rack up on some stuff...that is if you can hold him to the fact he his items are listed as local pickup for free.

All the items listed below are free shipping with local pick-up.

Sellers like this is one of the reasons EBAY will be charging on the shipping charge starting next month. Terrible F

Yep, which is why I have already reported him. Plus if he is reported, maybe it will help someone else that is new to eBay keep from getting into some issues with him.

grab a case of TTT for $.99, ******* steal ! I'd make that trip to IL

I reported him as well. I was bored and if I have to pay the fees he should to, especially because he is from Illinois.

I don't know if this is still the case, but I thought at one point in time if you bought something with high shipping you could open a paypal dispute for excessive shipping and get a partial refund. Again I remember hearing this a long time ago and I am not sure if it still applies

Dear big-boy-breaks-2011,

I might have missed it but where in IL are you located? Shipping at $99 is pretty high so depending on where you are I might take you up on the free local pick-up. Thanks

One of the members near this clown can make a small mint by doing pick-ups for all us and charging a nominal "travel" fee!

goldenegg1 · Mar 19, 2011

I woul like to know where he lives. I live in Illinois as well.

gt2590 · Mar 19, 2011

BTW, I've always wondered:

Is there is a way to search for items with the intentional over-charged shipping?

I'd love to see someone like you buy it and tell him, "I'll pick it up since it is free to do so. Awesome card for only 99 cents!" I bet his expression would be priceless. :lol:

Do it! At worst you just neg him and he hopefully learns his lesson.

I've never understand the fixation with being the guy that teaches a seller their lesson. If you're not into something don't buy it. You don't have to go around eBay protecting the community, you're not a super hero.

If I'm in a super market and see someone stealing a steak, I'm not going to run to the manager and report it and hope that he gives me a pat on the head because I'm totally in need of praise.

I'm going to ignore it. Dude stealing a steak doesn't raise my cost. I don't get bitter because I pay for my steaks. I don't feel the need to teach this dude a lesson. I think to myself, "Dude knows the Risk / Reward and is taking this chance." It's not my business to ensure the risk part of the situation comes true. Regardless of what they say, shoplifting doesn't cost you more money.

I'm eager to know what exactly gets accomplished by reporting people that are gaming eBay...

People seem to think that they're being the perfect eBay citizen and protecting the community and that's why they go out of their way. Maybe it's just because I'm from the hood (i'm not) but I've been taught that SNITCHES GET STITCHES.
