THINK $1 BID
SOME GUIDE WRITERS HAVE SAID THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ITEM THAT SELLS FOR $1 & SHIPPING IS $20 VERSES ITEM COSTS $20 & SHIPPING IS TEN. THATS NOT TRUE!
FIRST OFF THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REASONS SELLERS DO THIS!
FIRST & MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT SHIPPING IS NEVER REFUNDABLE!!! THEREFORE IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE ITEM & RETURN IT YOU ONLY GET $1 BACK PLUS YOU HAVE TO PAY RETURN SHIPPING TOO! I FELL FOR THIS ONCE FOR A LEATHER JACKET FOR MY SON WHICH WAS TOO SMALL FOR HIM SO I KNOW! I KEPT THE ITEM & RESOLD IT BUT STILL TOOK A LOSS!
THE OTHER REASONS ARE 1) PRICES ARE SO COMPETITIVE SELLERS HAVE TO DO IT TO GET LISTED FIRST! 2) MAYBE YOU WONT NOTICE THE ULTRA HIGH SHIPPING & COMMIT TO BUYING IT! 3)LOWER LISTING FEES FOR THE SELLER.
SO REMEMBER -EVEN IF THE TOTAL FOR THE ITEM & SHIPPING IS THE SAME- YOU’RE BETTER OFF GOING WITH THE HIGHER BID & LOWER SHIPPING!
