Shipping cost from USA to Europe

[CPUShack]

I reships MANY packages to Europe for various collectors, i aint that hard lol

If seller is really overcharging shipping fees (2x or more), I will give a negative feedback. When you agree to pay sthg, you don't know if it is the right price.
But when you receive it, then you know if you were stolen or not...

Note, my shipping prices VS the actual ones when I get to the post office
Every chip that I have shipped out (late or not) has cost me around $2-4 extra PER chip ! + take in the prices of my sales per chip!

...but they call me the bad one cause I'm late or whatever, when I just saved everyone alot of $ and paid for it myself as a friendly favor

Most sellers pad their auction prices so as to avoid ebay fees by overcharging for shipping and handleing. ie $2 chip with $15 shipping. I have found this true of U.S. and European sellers. The important thing when bidding is just to factor into your bid the cost of the shipping. Understand the seller is screwing Ebay not you Heaven knows Ebay screws us enough. The only time I have been pissed is with sellers who won't list how much shipping will cost and won't reply to your inquirys and then overcharge big time. I had a German recently charge me 10 euro for shiping. I haven't got the chips yet but unless Germany is as rediculous as Canada on shipping prices I know I'm getting hosed.

I see too much complaining on ebay when it comes to shipping and handling prices... it's true what chiptalk mentions, (putting aside that costs are listed in the auction before hand) you not only need to factor the correct shipping price, you also need to factor handling prices. For some people the post office is very far away and they require a lot of time to get there. They also have to buy materials and pack the item.

$5 actual cost when you receive the package but you were charged $10... aren't we forgetting that the seller probably spent more in GAS trying to ship out your item, then he actually charged for postage?

I don't know how is in USA but in Poland seller who sending many parcells per day he have own post office man who get all shippments from his home or office. Most of overcharging sellers are they who have easy and comfortable contact with post.

You writting about handling, going to post office and etc and still that is not understandable for me Money for gas ? Most of overcharging sellers live on desert or something ? LOL We can't say false. 99% of eBay users live in cities. Post office is near. GAS is cheap for some km (miles) not 5 or 10 USD.

When we get decision about sale on internet auction we accept loosing time on :

1)writting descriptions
2)making photos
3)writting emails
4)sometimes phone
5)making packages
6)delivering them to nearest post office

That is my opinion. Here in Poland no body charge more than 20% of shipping cost.

I agree with chiptalk. It's not fair to leave negative feedback for high shipping amount when the amount is listed in the description. If you think the seller overcharged you then filing an excessive shipping charges complaint with eBay would be more appropriate.

Here is an example of excessive shipping charge:

That is picture perfect. 1 cent with forty dollar shipping for a chip. My bet is ebay has a program which searches out disparities like this and brings them to the attention of someone who nails the seller. It's the folks that charge $10 shipping for a $3.00 chip that fly under the radar.

That loked like a smart listing to me - if the packing was truly only opened to get the details of the chip, then it probably works, and even with hefty shipping like that, the overall price is good for a P4 3.6GHz

I sell chips all the time with no gaurantee of function that I don't believe are likely to be dead. I just sold a pIII 1400mhz this way (It fetched $71 too ). I have found they go for a price very similar to those chips that the seller gaurantees so why bother testing them. Also, if I were to find the chip failed then I would have to sell it as non-working and get next to nothing for it. I'd rather not know and so far I haven't had any trouble with anyone complaining about chips that didn't work either. Of course they probably all did.
