That is exactly what I was talking about. It's the buyer's Post Office/postal workers that decide whether there is postage due, even though the seller's Post Office/postal workers said it was fine the way it is.

Sorry, i miake my fiscal decision before i purchase, seems a wee bit more logical.
I am paying 3 dollars to receive my package and thats what i am looking for.

What can I say, George. I bring traffic. I hope all the F5-ing is generating some impression revenue.

Cool!I'd rather put that $3 towards the value of an item.. but sure. I'm stoked for you and your keen business acumen!

Well you are just silly.
Although I do have a package coming from amazon so maybe what i'll do is go home and insure packing peanut content, freshly minted box and also that the tape is of a standard which one should expect for 6 dollars shipping...

I agree, George (despite what you saying being sarcasm). I can see how determining how much you are paying before the purchase is much more important that making sure all of the costs are properly account for!

Because this is 100% like looking at an envelope for the 2 seconds it takes to tell if the seller ripped you on S&H right?
You exaggerate like a drama queen, therefor I stick to my opinion on the matter.

I bid higher on items when the seller offers free shipping. If I would pay $10 for card and the seller charges $2 I bid $8.01(ish).
Relax, it was a joke.
It wasnt meant to hurt your feelers or anything.
although, I'm definitely going to make sure its not a box made out of recycled paper. I want the box to have a picture of the chopped tree!

That's when you can accurately predict the ending price of an item. I'm not saying I don't take into account shipping costs. I don't even know where philly is coming from with that (once, again, maybe just to try an dvalidate his argument by pulling something out of thin air). I've already stated that I never bid on an item without taking shipping cost into account. What I am saying is.. if you want to send a used bubble mailer - I'll still pay for the item (and you'll likely get the same amount from me) but don't charge me for something you don't provide.
THAT'S the point being argued here. Not the total cost of what you buy. I mean, I'd hope people with some level of comprehension could see that.
And I know you're obligated to kind of defend another moderator.. but this is phillyfan. He's no more a rookie to internet arguing than I am.

Philly, Just so you know - I haven't taken any real offense to what you've said... at all.
The quip about the chpped tree and all loops back to the whole "anti-recycling" thing which was never even implied.. in the slightest. Such a lack of depth in understanding warrants little weight.

i'm not arguing with you, I have a differing viewpoint and you are the one who started with the insults.
Fact is, most sellers on ebay are scraping by and if one of their efficiencies is to recycle, thats fine with me.The fact that you feel that you are obligated to receive a new buble mailer so you can throw it in the trash, thats great and good for you.
I dont care since i've taken the expense into account with the purchase.
Like George said, when i bid, its my maximum amount with shipping considered.

How do you know that the sellers who send you a used bubble mailer didn't previously "pay $3 shipping" for it through another transaction on eBay? Why would you assume that they got it for free?

But see there are two arguments here; price that you are willing to pay for an item and price "acceptable" to pay for shipping.
My point and NOT in defense of Phily, I factor shipping cost into my bid price........I rip the mailer open upon receipt and only give a second thought to shipping cost when a PWE arrives. See I dont care about new/reused mailer because I factored shipping into my total max price.
